Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a graphic designer and artist, with a wry sense of humor and an analytical personality, pretty laid back. Some have called me a walking dictionary and many have told me I am the smartest person they know (I'm no rocket scientist, I just tend to be literal and logical). I'm a bit reserved around people I don't know well, mostly because I like to try to be polite and get a feel for someone's personality, and am perhaps a bit shy. But with good company I am outspoken and friendly, I love a good conversation, and can often be an extremely passionate speaker.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to travel and meet new, interesting people with diverse backgrounds who I can learn from and share new experiences with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wrote an unpublished novel when I was 14 (it's pretty bad so no you can't read it ha). But I think sitting down and writing it out was an accomplishment.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would love to share artmaking tips, recipes, my amazing bloody marys and literary recommendations with anyone kind enough to lend their couch.
Happy to exchange stories of the Portland, OR area if you are looking to visit.
