I'm a pretty low-key person who works for the OR Department of Agriculture. I live close to downtown and love meeting new people. I read, dragon boat (some), hike, kayak, hammock, and chase my two sons around when they aren't with their dad. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community and identify as queer. My son may be my daughter...he's young and exploring. None of us in our home fit in a box and we're okay if you don't either :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like community and the idea of a sharing society. There is too much hate in our world right now and helping each other out when we can is just one small way to try and heal the hurt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My partner and I traveled to Cuba. I'd never really been out of the country so it was wild that Cuba was my first locale!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk about cannabis regulations and science until the cows come home. I get tired of it sometimes but it seems to interest a lot of folks. I enjoy cooking and I clean as I go so it's usually not too big of a mess ;) I'm quite and don't need a lot of interaction if you are busy.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Canada, Cuba, India
