Planted in the PNW. While I love getting out and seeing the diversity of the world, I'm always beckoned back to my home in Vancouver, Washington. Currently living in a little 100yr old house in downtown Vancouver, just across the river from Portland, Oregon.

My second home is anywhere above 2,000 feet (which around here means a mountain since we're starting at sea level). Catch me on a sunny day hiking or swimming or hot spring hunting. On a Pow day you won't catch me because I'll be riding down some mountain or else hiking up in the backcountry it on a splitboard.

I live a very active lifestyle in between working too much, and working some more, but also enjoy walking around town, getting beers with friends and just chilling at home with my sisters (aka roomies).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because free lodging is ideal, and people are amazing!!!
