CURRENT MISSION

Offer warm bed and hot shower to world travelers

ABOUT ME

62, divorced, live alone, have two children, daughter 33 a teacher, son 20 a student. I love living in the NW, lots of things to do here even in the rain. I'm a simple happy person, love to read, watch movies, listen to podcasts and find cheap or free things to do in PDX. I enjoy volunteering especially for bicylce events such as Sunday Parkways and Tour de Lab.

PHILOSOPHY

No good deed goes unpunished, but don't stop trying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Share my home and community with the world. There are probably things about PDX my visitors know so I will learn more. Not much of a traveler.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None

Interests

Reading, this year I've read War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Anna Karenina and Quiet Flows the Don and I still don't speak russian.
I love netflix. I enjoy finding cheap or free events in Portland to attend and there are lots of them.
