I am an adventurer, hoping to travel the world and make a positive difference in the lives of others. I currently am studying biology and intend to become a Physician Assistant in the next several years, serving within areas of poverty.

I call Portland, OR my home (for now) and love exploring in nature.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I figure I should sign up now, since I have a lifetime of travel ahead of me. I may need a couch or two this summer while traveling South America (Costa Rica, Peru, etc).

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

My favorite book tends to be whatever I am reading at the time… right now I'm reading "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson. Love it!

Favorite music changes all the time, but I enjoy most everything these days.

I don't watch television or movies often, but I like action, adventure, and sci-fi. I do watch Game of Thrones and sometimes Futureama.
