I love to read, cook, walk, bike, hike, and travel! I live in Portland, OR, with the love of my life and we're making the rounds to see some family and friends over 3 weeks between England and Italy! We love meeting characters, sharing great conversation over good drinks and laughs. We're super low maintenance and we really just love to have adventures and make lasting memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister and her family leave for theStates for 3 weeks after our visit with them in England, so by the time we come back from Italy, they'll no longer be there. Plus, we've never been to London!
Also, my friend who's been living in Rome starts her new job back in the US on September 1st, so we unfortubately are just missing her. We were still excited at the prospect of seeing the city though, and taking our time making it to Lecce.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the Assistant Beekeeper in 4 different communities on the Telica Volcano in Nicaragua in 2013. I once got stung 20+ times THROUGH my bee suit.

Alec has hiked the entire Oregon portion of the Pacific Crest Trail and parts of California. He has 10 siblings! And he can throw rocks really far.
