CURRENT MISSION

Explore, adventure, climb things, do good deeds.

ABOUT ME

I'm back in America after being away for a while, trying (again) to start anew in (another) new city. I would love to ease the transition by meeting up with other CSers for exploring, fun times, mellow times, or anything. I'm always up for an adventure, I rarely say no to trying something new. And I have a deep respect for the way of the couchsurfer, the international traveler, the peace corps volunteer…or really anyone with an open mind and a propensity for kindness.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I'm a nomad….but one day, I hope to own a couch, so you can surf it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met many of my close friends in Portland, OR through couchsurfing. They were welcoming, open, wonderful interesting and kind people, and they taught me much about what the CS community is about. I wish I had joined earlier, it would have made my travels far, far better.

Interests

Traveling, living new places, trying new things, tasting anything…biking, climbing stuff, microbrews, and having adventures. Taking pictures, playing in markets, cooking, being productive, kittens, and birdwatching.
