I'd like to host people who like me can't really afford hotels & airbnbs. I'm a liberal-leaning graphic designer living alone in a 1 bedroom condo apartment that feels a little too big for just me. I'm into riding bikes, motor or human powered. I love the Pacific Northwest and showing new people around. I work for United Way via Americorps, and do some freelancing too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to host people from all over & learn about their culture, plus I love to show new people around (especially by bike). I'm an avid cyclist and love long distance riding. I also ride a motorcycle, so if you're traveling by motorcycle too, you'll have someone to ride with.
