CURRENT MISSION

To plan Pan American Road Trip from Mexico to Argentina!

ABOUT ME

Let's see, I grew up in Dallas,Texas, went to college in upstate NY, moved to New York City for a few years and then sold everything I owned and went on a year long roadtrip in 2011. I wound up in Portland on the trip and I loved it so much, I decided to stay! I love traveling and have been to 48 of the 50 states. Hoping to do some traveling out of the country soon. My dream road trip is to take the Pan American Highway from Mexico to Argentina.

I'm very laid back and easy going. Love to meet all types of people.

PHILOSOPHY

I love adventure. If I'm not out of my comfort zone at least a few times a month, I feel like I'm not living! I'll try almost anything once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host when I lived in NYC but then I moved somewhere where no one visited(upstate NY) and kinda forgot about the site. Now, that I'm in Portland I have started hosting again.
