Hello Everyone!
I grew up on a small farm, but moved away for university and graduated last May. Before graduating I spent six months studying in Australia, before spending a couple traveling in SE Asia, I've also done smaller trips to Germany, Costa Rica, and have been to visit family in Japan many times. I left home last October to travel in South America for six months, although i only went to Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil (volunteered in the first thee), and am currently spending three months traveling Europe trying and to see and experience as many new things as possible before heading back to the US in June. I get along with almost everyone, but if your interests include going to concerts, hunting down hidden cafes and places to eat, or getting out of town for a hike, I think we will especially get on well! I look forward to meeting and learning the local side of each city and hope to show off my home city of Portland!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my absolute best travel memories have only happened because of total strangers I've met on the road. Couchsurfing is a natural extension of that, allowing me to easily meet locals and share my home and favorite places with fellow travelers. I have already had several friends that I have met in previous travels come to Oregon to stay with me, I love nothing more than showing off Portland and the beauty of the rest of Oregon with them!
