Hi! A california transplant to Portland, Oregon, I am a traveler without an itinerary. I am very laid back, can sleep anywhere as long as I have enough layers and enjoy entertaining myself with writing, reading, and long walks (on and off the beach). I prefer deep reflection to small talk, and hope we can offer each other unique and fresh perspectives to encourage personal development and happiness. My inspiration for travel is learning through native food and local beverages. Plus side? I cook for a living! Let me cook a meal for you in exchange for your hospitality. If you like to cook, it’d be wonderful to do it together! I love to learn new techniques and I find food to be a great teacher of culture.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love discovering new things about the world on a person to person level.

Música, películas y libros

R&B, soul music, Daft Punk, love songs! Karaoke is the best, I’m not promising good singing though. Not a movie buff but enjoy them always if there is company. Favorite book, Native Son by Richard Wright. Close second, The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.
