About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from all different places and backgrounds. We all serve as mirrors to one another. You only know yourself by knowing other.

"On this journey I don't expect nothing
but the unexpectable.
The only thing I know for a fact
is that I'll never know too much about myself
so I'm gonna keep learning.
Cause I'm determined to find what keeps this fire burning.
Turning these pages just as slow as I can.
Reading every single word from the poet within.
I float with wind and stay content
wherever it carries me.
There was no beginning and there won't be an end.
I'm just a piece of the galaxy;
a seed in the soil.
A stream of conciousness
To the seasons I'm loyal."
-Eyedea

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and go to new places. I have a passion for food. Eating at restaurants is definitely my vice. I love hearing passionate people talk about what interests them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a big fan of couchsurfing. I normally don't plan ahead when it comes to my travels which is why I have seldom used couchsurfing lately. I have been traveling on and off for the last 4 years, so have not had a place to host recently. I just moved back to Portland, Oregon so I am getting back on couchsurfing and updating my profile and looking to see if the couchsurfing community is as wonderful and beautiful as I remember.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far on my travels, I have met up with a good amount awesome couchsurfers. Always good to meet up with people who know the area. In my experience couchsurfers always seems to be a lot more open and kind than the average person. I have had nothing but great experiences surfing and hosting through couchsurfing.
I've been able to host some people while in Austin, Texas. The last person I hosted was amazing. We had a wonderful time in Austin while she was here and I can't wait till we have an opportunity to cross paths again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 10 day roadtrip with some people I really didn't know before the trip. Our goal was to go to the Grand Canyon and we had an open itinerary in between. Even though it was only 10 days. It was probably the most life changing trip, I've had so far.
I've also hitchhiked from Amsterdam to Barcelona. I recommend hitchhiking as your way of travel when in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Starting to learn a little partner acro. If you want to play or show me some moves, hit me up!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I currently live in a community house which is just starting up. We are currently trying to fill the house with awesome housemates/community members. In the meantime, we have empty rooms (unfurnished). So I can probably hook you up with a room for a couple days.
