ABOUT ME

I grew up in Portland Oregon, where I live now with my husband. I've traveled to Mexico, the UK, Spain, South Korea, Canada , France, and the Netherlands and I'm anxious to see more of the world. I love to meet people from different places, to talk, to eat, to wander the streets of a new city. I am shy at first but friendly when you get to know me better, honest, loyal and curious.

PHILOSOPHY

Always read the plaque. Leave the world better than you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had my first CS experience in 2009 and now I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Been lucky enough to hang out with a few awesome people, and also surf in one very busy and friendly apartment in Barcelona. Unfortunately, I am not in the position to host people at this time, but I would be more than happy to get a drink/meal with anyone visiting Portland and offer some info about what to do around here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several awesome nights out in Amsterdam with a local, several nights on the couches of two different hosts in the UK, a weekend in a lovely flat in Barcelona, and two lovely ladies in Oaxaca.
