I am an Intern Architect working towards licensure while trying to maintain adventure and curiousity for life, and respect Earth.

I mostly enjoy the simple things in life; a cup of coffee and a magazine, a drink with a friend, biking throughout downtown, hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, or making a nice meal for friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from others and experience new cultures from people of all experiences, viewpoints, and knowledge. My hopes is to become a more compassionate, humble, and knowledgeable person.

Thus far, I have only been hosted, however I am looking forward to the opportunity to host people and offer them the same experience that I was offered many times. I have gained a new understanding and appreciation for different values and open mindedness.

Interests

I love immersing myself in another culture and learning about the language, customs, history and difficulties.

When not traveling, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, reading in parks, and casually biking! I also love to spend time in a quieter manner; enjoying a well crafted tea or latte at a local cafe.

I have recently learned how to watercolor, and much of my pastime is spent watercoloring abstract things, cards for people, architecture, or artwork for my own enjoyment. I am always open to teaching and sharing with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently ended an amazing life-changing journey, studying and traveling within Europe. Everyday was a new opportunity, a new challenge, and a new experience. I learned more about who I am, what I want in life, and how I want to live my life.
