CURRENT MISSION

Save Private Ryan? I'm bad at this.

ABOUT ME

I live in Portland, OR, it's awesome. Yes. What else? I have a sweet job, and in my chosen field, no less, which has yet to cease to amaze me. Taking things one day at a time right now.

I find people interesting, even in their minutia. I often wonder why people do the things they do, and why in the manner they choose to do them, simply because their methods never occurred to me. It makes me feel that there is an infinite amount of knowledge to be gained from others on every subject imaginable.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to be enjoyed.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am traveling around the Northwest United States for the next 8 months, hoping to meet some good people stay with. Can't offer a couch myself at this point, as I'll be on the road mostly. Hopefully next summer I will be able to host some peeps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing for the last two years in Washington and Idaho, and had nothing but positive experiences.
