Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I make magical realism short films, think Amelie, but not that good. Yet!
A few years ago I spent most of the year in Europe couchsurfing, volunteering on farms, and traveling around and I had such a great time that I want to return the favor! Portland has kept me longer than any other place in since university, and I'd be happy to share its awesomeness, there's plenty to go around. We can take an adventure out to the wilderness or around town or I can just point you in the right direction.
ABOUT ME
I love outdoor activities, cliff jumping, soccer, surfing, snowboarding/skiing, ice skating, and rock climbing.
Life is an adventure, gotta keep exploring!
I'm always finding friends who still feel the adventure.
PHILOSOPHY
Retain your childhood curiosity and imagination
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosted a few people a while ago, and I have a spot that might work for it now and would be happy to host!
I stayed with so many awesome people in Europe, and so I want to give back :)
