***I'm generally not able to accept requests more than a week or two in advance. I go out of town too often and with too little notice to be able to plan very far in advance. Last minute requests welcome though :)***

CURRENT MISSION
Life is finite - be awesome every day.

ABOUT ME
I'm very curious. I love exploring and trying new things. I'm vegetarian, an avid reuser/recycler, and almost obsessively DIY.

PHILOSOPHY
My two biggest life goals are to become bilingual and to make a true friend on every continent. (Penguins count.)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I use CS to meet locals when I travel, and return the favor when I'm home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I turned to CS as a way to meet locals and fellow travelers when living in İzmir, Turkey. I quickly realized this community is full of generous, kind, and interesting people. I've met life-long friends as a surfer and through meet ups, and now that I'm home again, I'm paying it forward as a host.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on an 8-state, 3,000+ mile solo road/camping trip. There were a number of moments from that trip that I'd count as amazing.

Oh, and swimming with bioluminescent plankton in Cambodia!

教，学，和分享

I love to cook and adapt my own recipes. Cooking plant-based meals is my favorite. I'd love to teach you my favorite mac n' cashew-cheese recipe, or maybe a peach pie if the season's right.

I also boulder and rock climb, and I love introducing new people to the sport.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A place to crash, maybe a home cooked meal, and recommendations on what to see, do, and taste in Portland.
