About Me

Hey there, I'm currently hosting couch surfers and hopefully looking to get hosted when I travel to Europe. I've hosted many couch surfers before but it was all through my roommates account at the time. I've given countless tours of Portland and would love to give more. I work a pretty busy schedule but make the most of my free time on the weekends. If you're a fan of going out and seeing Portland's nightlife and hiking adventures I'm your guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love getting different perspectives and telling/hearing stories. I caught the travel bug a long time ago and want people to experience the same hospitality I found while traveling the world. Some of my fondest memories have been through hosting travelers and being hosted.

Music, Movies, and Books

I regularly go to concerts and music festivals. Right now I've been listening to a lot of Alabama Shakes, M83, Portugal the Man, Daft Punk, Major Lazer, Odesza, Flume, Disclosure, Edward Sharpe, Arcade Fire, Sylvan Esso. I'm incredibly open to all sorts of music and will always be down to go to a concert regardless of the genre.
Top 5 movies: Pulp Fiction, The Departed, Kill Bill, Cool Hand Luke, Dazed and Confused, Rear Window.
I'm currently reading The Secret History of the American Empire and usually stick to political non fiction or dystopian novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fucking rule at karaoke

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very sarcastic and extroverted. If I can't make you laugh I haven't done my job. Also if you want to talk about United States drug policy or politics hit me up. If you don't I won't take any offense.
