Hi, I'm Carlie! I am a recent Michigan State University graduate and studied Sustainable Parks, Recreation and Tourism. When not traveling, I'm a manager at a rock climbing gym in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Im a pretty easy going gal and love meeting new people...and their dogs or cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am using Couchsurfing because I need a place to stay for a couple nights! I've been out west traveling for the last 3 months, and am hanging out around Portland until August 4th, when I catch a flight to Denver to continue my travels.

Interests

I'm currently interested in exploring Portland! I've never been in a big city for very long and it's a bit overwhelming, but I'd love to know some cool places to visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to all types of music, movies, and books.... Besides country music and text books, I've had enough of those.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dived the Great Barrier Reef in 2007

Teach, Learn, Share

I could always teach you how to climb! It's hands down my favorite hobby and nearly anyone can do it, as long they believe in themselves.

I am always up for learning new things! Especially musical instruments, because I can play absolutely none.

I have been backpacking for the last 3 months, soooo I don't have much to share besides stories...and some green I must get rid of before flying out, so let me know if you're interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have many stories and a lot of pot to share with my host :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico
