ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Being the best person I can be and challenging myself to be better! I tend to be a very positive person and always try to stay that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only surfed so far but I'd love to host sometime in the near future and show off the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had an amazing host in Amsterdam who I consider to be a good friend! Met a few other CSers in Amsterdam while on a five week Europe adventure during the winter of 2011. I've gone to a few CS meet ups in my home town of Portland Oregon as well. In fall 2012, I Spent 6 weeks in Australia and CSed in Melbourne with 2 hosts and went to several CSing events. There is a great couch surfing community in Melbourne.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and try to always stay open minded to new music I've never heard, that said, I'm not a big fan of country music. I love live music and I've seen some amazing bands live: radiohead, arcade fire, my morning jacket, Ryan Adams, vampire weekend, fleet foxes. I love movies and have seen so many but I'm not going to just list a shit ton, don't see the point, haha! I'm a big chuck Pauilnuk fan and some of other favorites include, 1984, fahrenheit 451.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran six 1/2 marathons and three full marathon, so far! My goal for the full marathon was anything under 4hrs and my finish time was two seconds under 4hrs! Would love to run marathons all over the world. Ran in the worlds longest relay race (200 miles) in the world, I ran 20 miles in 24hrs on four hours of sleep over three days. About to backpack through Europe for 35 days through five countries with my gorgeous girlfriend Kelly and I can't wait!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I've always wanted to teach ceramics one day, throwing on the wheel specifically. It's something I love to do and it's been too long since I've last touched any clay!

Learn: I try to learn new things every day about myself and the world around me, I love traveling the world to learn more about myself and this crazy/amazing world we all live in!

Share: "sharing is caring" words I live by!
