Hi! My name is Wesley, and I'm a local artist/musician. I'm in transition right now and needing places to crash here and there when my friends aren't available.

I like getting to know people and having deep conversations, and I generally dislike large crowds unless I'm playing music for them. I'm not a party animal. I don't smoke, though I don't mind if others do around me. I rarely drink.

I like to make art, play and practice music, nerd out on a good anime or video game (Dark Souls 3, one day!) every once in a while, write, cook, and learn new things. I love helping people improve their art skills, and I'm good at seeing strengths.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just moved back to Portland and I'm surfing couches while I start a new job and save up for a place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching anything I can, and learning everything I can. Learning something with someone is basically the best possible way to spend time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll bring my guitar and play you some live original music if you like, but won't try to push it on you.

I like to cook, too.
