CURRENT MISSION

To get where I wanna get to!

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple, complicated Oregon boy trying to get out of dodge and see the world. Then, when the world and I are a little better acquainted, I'd like to help the world out as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm a bit too busy to do so lately. Sad days. I would love to host more, and perhaps when I have a break from school or work ever then I will totally take up hosting again. If I can ever afford to take the time off of work to travel, I'll totally surf too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Kind-of-hosted tons of surfers. Totally rad. Love cooking together or going out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is not a single day that goes by where I am not amazed by something, normally the beauty that constantly surrounds me. I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful region. Everyday the mountains take my breath away, the clouds and the sky cause me to stare with mouth agape, and the forests inspire me to euphoria.

Teach, Learn, Share

Musically inclined folks move to the front of the line. I play piano/sing and I'd love to jam or teach some (probably very) basic piano. Cooking meals together is also always lovely. I'd be happy to help improve someone else's English if they teach me some of their language (French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese...?). What else... Anything and everything really!
