CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, eat great food and meet great people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old living in Portland, Oregon.

I have a degree in Mechanical engineering so I'm a bit of a math/science geek. I'm also fairly outdoorsy and like to go rock climbing and hiking around Oregon and Washington.

PHILOSOPHY

The dude abides.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just getting started with CS and I'm hoping to learn the ropes. I don't currently have a couch I can freely give out but I would love to give back to CS when i can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not enough, friends of mine have been using it for years but I'm just now getting started. Probably goes without saying I've spent many a night on a friends couch but not ones I found on CS.

Interests

I'm a pretty avid photographer and worked for the school newspaper for years. I'm interning at a couple photography studios in Portland right now.

I like non-fiction books, Sci-Fi movies and Thai food.
I also love rock climbing and taking camping trips out into the woods to go climbing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a increasingly severe addiction to the documentaries section of Netflix. Anyone who thinks one person could never watch the whole catalog has never met me.

I have an ever growing stack of books sitting on my night stand that i want to read. I stack the one I want to read first on top and right now I believe my stack looks like: Boomerang/The Defining Decade/Cloud Atlas/Photographs not Taken/Photography in Print/A People's History of the United States.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen bikers cross the finish line of the Tour de France, I've spent a St. Patricks day in Dublin, Ireland and I've been lucky enough to travel to over 25 countries in my 22 years.

Here is my total list of places I've been.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love photography, cooking and anything related to technology and I'm more than happy to share me knowledge with others.

I will also cook you an awesome dinner if I stay at your house. Promise.
