I'm a young person hoping create a better world for future generations. I need to connect more with my neighbors and community if I want to ever see a world built on trust and friendships. Simbi, I think is one way to lift one another to our utmost potential by creating these connections with one another.

I'm a newbie to Portland and Oregon in general. I've moved up from...(you guessed it!) California. Came up here in August for 2016 for the rain, the trees, the clean air and have been soaking it up sinse.

My compañera de vida is the reason I wake up in the morning. We also have a cute blueheeler puppy dog named Turnip who also makes me pretty dang happy.

Although I haven't figured out my endgame yet, my 5 year plan includes travel, travel, and travel. I have been seriously considering WOOFing programs or teaching English in another country as a great way to meet people and get in touch with the culture of another homeland.

In my "free free" time, I play boardgames, hike/backpack/camp, bike ride, attempt to learn stuff on the internet, and my guilty pleasure is videogames... And ice cream.
