CURRENT MISSION

making dinner..for you?

ABOUT ME
I am just coming back to the couchsurfing community after taking a few years to focus on graduate school when I wasn't traveling or living in a place where I could host. I just moved back to my hometown of Portland and am looking forward to having couchsurfing adventures once again!

I like thoughtful alternatives and connecting with other people. I have lived mostly in Portland, the Hawaiian islands, northern Minnesota, Olympia, and Madison, WI exploring various communities and facets of conservation biology.

I aim to be a positive, enthusiastic, and respectful force in the world, and would love to meet up with you for a beverage, conversation, walk, or an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY
