ABOUT ME

Hi i'm Alison. I just had my first worldly traveling experience in Paris, Italy, and Greece for a month, and I've caught the bug! After I catch up from this adventure Spain looks pretty enticing.
I work Mon- Thurs and love the spring and summer months of Portland to explore, hike and go camping.
I love listening to live music, especially outdoors. Eating out and having nice drinks with friends, Being in good company.

PHILOSOPHY

"...sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Lewis Carroll

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Sellwood, a very quaint area with lots of coffee shops, antique shops and organic grocery stores and unsuspecting dive bars within walking distance. Close to downtown and buses are fairly frequent.
I have one pull out couch that would sleep two and a small loveseat - that I think is comfortable.
I can show you around most Fri - Sun and recommend places to go, I'll prob try and get you to come hiking in the gorge and show off the beauty of Oregon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I have just joined couch surfing my experience is limited.
Many friends have raved about couch surfing for years and they were right, I had the best experience in Paris and met some amazing people who are welcome to visit me anytime if they ever get a hankering to visit portland ;p
I am open to hosting.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Sky Diving with my cousins and friends! It's an exhilarating, adrenaline rush, peaceful and calming all at once. The views are spectacular!

My amazing trip to Europe! I travelled with friends and alone through Paris, Italy and Greece. I climbed many hights off the Italian coasts for spectacular views. Relaxed on the beaches of the bluest waters I've seen, so far, and rode a donkey through Idrya.
