CURRENT MISSION

to introduce my body's resident bacteria to friendly microbes from around the world

ABOUT ME

I love music, microbiology, Harry Potter, and chocolate.

I've learned to play a variety of instruments. I love nature. Walking and hiking are some of my favorite activities. I love people. I am nice, shy, nerdy, and laid back.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in love.
I believe in a commonality shared by all human beings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times. I've hosted once. Right now I can meet people and show them around Portland, but I don't have the means to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with the Salmutters in Eisenstadt, Austria, and got to celebrate Easter with them. We had an egg hunt, which I lost miserably, but it was still really fun!
