ABOUT ME
I am an active, musical, open-minded couch surfer. I enjoy meeting people from all different backgrounds and sharing things about myself.
A appreciate sharing food, stories and my couch! I have had the opportunity to host travelers from all over the world before joining CS. Many people have not shared the same language as me and we still manage to communicate.
I am a landscape architect in Portland, OR with investment in community design and sustainable living. I love bicycles, the outdoors and the abilty to find quiet places to think and reflect.
I hope to meet more people from all over the world through CS.
