I have a child 1 in college and 1 in junior year of high school (not staying with me - but she lives across the street from me so you might see her stopping by). But it also means that I'm "free" again to travel. I am working remotely as a tech support in a fintech startup and can work from anywhere. I would love to host as well. I miss meeting people from everywhere and learning about their life and culture. I am vegetarian (but will not try to convert anyone - my kids eat meat) and I don't drink (but you are welcome to enjoy a glass of wine if that's your thing). I am open minded and welcoming.
I am working hard right now in order to retire early and dedicate myself to the spiritual path I am on. For this, I try to save money where I can and live with the minimum. I am pretty busy but can always find time to show you some hiking trails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have lot's of space in my home to welcome travelers. I can tell them where to hike in Oregon and what to see. I traveled solo a lot before the kids, and did a lot of backpacking and hitchhiking. I'm still young at heart, still travel very light and I am happy with very little comfort.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Paulo Coelo, siddharta, or anything that makes you think about the meaning of life.
Music: listens to everything that has meaningful lyrics.
Movies: do not watch many - I already spend too much time in front of a screen for work, so prefer to be in nature during my time off
