Portland Oregon Native. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. When I'm outside I like to hiking especially to get to a waterfall or panoramic view on a hilltop. I also enjoy snowboarding, nothing beats fresh mountaintop air. When I'm inside you'll often find me playing board games. Typically Euro-style, but I always enjoy learning new titles.

I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. Getting to know people from different backgrounds is always interesting and can help you stay well rounded and keep an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always had the travel itch for a while but only recently have I started to make adventures happen. Excited to continue exploring new countries, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people.

My upcoming trip will be going through parts of Western Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany) should be amazing. I'll be exploring and attending Essen Spiel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to more podcasts than music as i'm a slight news junkie and sports fan. I like most types of music if it's catchy or has a good beat. I lean towards alternative rock and enjoy an electronic element, but isn't just designed for a club.
