ABOUT ME

Hi there! I’m just a Florida gal with some pretty serious mountain cravings. A few years ago I packed up and left home to work in Glacier National Park, and I have never been the same since. Traveling around the states led me to Portland, a city that really caught my heart. I made sure I satisfied my cravings before putting down some roots here, pumping out three grand road trips and a summer in Grand Teton National Park before I knew it was right to take some serious time in Portland. Even though I am rooted, I am so happy to be in a place where I can connect with fellow wanderers… stop by the front desk at the hostel or message me at home and let’s connect! I am always continuing my search through more traveling, whenever possible. I have too many things I am longing to see, too many people out there that could change my life!
So here I am. Love me! Show me what inspires you! (please)

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your mind open, your eyes open, love who you can, learn what you can, while you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to the city of Portland, my partner and I are settling in and creating a space that's comfortable for us and SOON comfortable enough to share with fellow travelers... For now, when we travel, we appreciate CS for the opportunity to travel low budget with lots of love!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed in AZ, WA, and CO, and never hosted but I'm always looking for more experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

"Upon those travelers who make their way without maps or guides, there breaks a wave of exhilaration with each unexpected change of plans. This exhilaration is not a whore who can be bought with money nor a neighborhood beauty who may be wooed. She (to persist in personifying the sensation as female) is a wild and sea-eyed undine, the darling daughter of adventure, the sister of risk, and it is for her rare and always ephemeral embrace, the temporary pressure she exerts on the membrane of ecstasy, that many men leave home"

-Jitterbug Perfume, Tom Robbins

Teach, Learn, Share

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
― Dale Carnegie

What I Can Share with Hosts

I shall enrich your soul with coffee, doodles, wonderful music, and dramatic readings from your favorite books. I know I must be good for something because my friends really like me...
