CURRENT MISSION
Embrace putting down roots

ABOUT ME
In the past decade my body has made me chill out and finally put down roots. Before Portland, I had been traveling for pretty much 6 years through the eastern half of Canada and the US. I worked on farms and was very dependent on Couchsurfing to live this way. I appreciate the freedom and kindness i got from Couchsurfing and hope to pay it forward. In the last few years my body has been degrading more rapidly, I’m disabled and been using my time in quarantine to try to figure out my families weird rare genetic disease.
Please read the about "My Home " section to see if it's a fit before requesting to stay, thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few couches by now. I greatly appreciate the mentality and kindness of all involved. It's the only way I'm able to/want to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was in Berlin, I could not ask for a better way to start surfing. The hosts we stayed with treated us like family, and the stories they shared colored the way that we saw the city.
