Currently in an IT / Networking capacity while working towards a career transition into Aviation Maintenance. Additionally dabble as a amateur musician / photographer with a love for all things art, mainly visual and audible. Have recently been exposed to capoeira and growing to have a strong appreciation and love for the martial art in addition to the surrounding culture for both Angola, Brazil, and the berimbau.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for better exposure to the world outside of my immediate area and learn more about various people, culture, and ways of life. Additionally, would love to meet and connect with more folk visiting the area and expose them to cultural offerings and scenic beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
