CURRENT MISSION

To have some good stories by the time I am 80.

ABOUT ME

I think I am a pretty friendly person. I tend to laugh a lot. I am originally from the Southern coast of Oregon (North Bend), but now live in Portland, as does most of my family. I am a brand new Aunt, and am extremely excited about having a niece and nephew to get to know! I am a junior at Lewis and Clark College, where I study history. I am currently studying abroad in London, and will be doing a little traveling around Europe in late April/ early May.

PHILOSOPHY

LIfe isn't always going to be easy or fun, but it has the possibility of being truly beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am brand new to couch surfing, but would be happy to help travelers get acquainted with Portland! As of now I don't have a couch or bed to offer, but that may change soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As of now, I have only had one couchsurfing experience, but it was a very pleasant one! I stayed one night in Dublin, and my host was exceptionally nice and friendly! I definitely continue to use the CouchSurfing network.

Interests

I like going out on the town, but I also like staying in and relaxing at home. I love musicals and the theatre. I like reading, and watching tv and movies. I enjoy meeting new people, playing board games, going to concerts, and eating yummy food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I can't really think of anything truly, fabulously, unbelievably, amazing. I really hope to fill in this box soon. As of this moment, the most amazing thing I have seen was the birth of my niece. But that might be a little too mundane and sentimental for this question.
