About Me

Living in Portland, OR

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few group of surfers at my place and they were all great people. I love gaining perspective and understanding without having to get on a plane. Plus hosting makes you more appreciative of what you have by showing someone all the great parts about your city.

I have only been hosted a twice but our hosts were great to us. The hospitality and generosity from those trips is something I'll always be trying to pay forward.

Interests

The ocean. People. Nature. Cannabis. Collaboration. Learning.

  • books
  • cooking
  • walking

Music, Movies, and Books

All music. From Underground Rap to EDM (sexy beats like tropical/melodic house ), reggae, rock, classical/instrumental. In gerneral, if it's good music I can dig it, genres aside.

Books, a wide variety at once normally; Hemmingway, Allan Watts, Ram Das, Palahniuk, and a Lot of Reddit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to help others practice their English.
I love learning from and teaching others.
I was a chef for a few years so I can cook up a mean meal for you, so long as you like plants! I speak Spanish and love/need to practice. Language and culture fascinate me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Home cooked meal if you're willing to try some veggies, I have a library of books you can choose from,
And we live three blocks from the max station and public transportation
