I'm moving to Portland at the end of July to do a 5 month course in programming, with hopes of becoming a developer. I have a ton of random interests and hobbies and love to learn from other people. Haven't really tried couchsurfing although I've been a member for awhile, and I'd really like to try!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people of different backgrounds and hearing their experiences, I don't know anyone in Portland, and I hope to host people once I have a place of my own.
