CURRENT MISSION

Be amazing.

ABOUT ME

Excited by the smallest things, serious about the important ones.

Right now, I'm trying to find work and figure out what to do with my life. I was an art history major with an interest in anthropology, and I would love to work with a cultural institution like a museum. I am currently volunteering at a science museum, and loving it.

I'm also making art again, which is wonderful. And I'm working my way through Veganomicon.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we are here on Earth to experience life in all aspects, and that we continue on after our passing in the memories of those we have encountered.

I would like to leave as many positive memories as possible, in diverse places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I would like to visit with Couchsurfers, show them Portlandia from the perspective of a 5 year resident.

My housing situation recently changed, and I now I can host for the first time! Super excited about this :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed some couches in Turkey and adventured with a few surfers in Portland. I really enjoy how open couch-surfers are, and how interested they are in making connections with new people!
