I am currently living in Portland, Oregon with my girlfriend and we are beginning work on opening a food truck that is based solely around pancakes called The Pancake Underground. I love to travel and if I can lend a couch I will.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just returning the favor to all the people who let me crash on their couches. I've never used couchsurfing.com but a lot of my friends who are travelers do, so, here we are.

Interests

I play folk/country music but am an avid listener of punk, hardcore, rockabilly, metal, garage rock, and hip hop. I also paint and cook and do some mild gardening. In the future I would like to make a living off journalism or just pumping out the worlds next greatest novel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music of all kinds, as long as its good. I'm also an English major so my favorite books are vast. I'm really into the beatnik stuff and the lost generation novels but you cant go wrong with the classics. Movies are all amazing, even the horrible ones and it would be hard for me to choose my favorites. Independents, horror, and documentaries are usually on our Netflix queue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hitchhiked up the Pacific Coast Highway (San Francisco to Portland and back) with my best friend carrying no money in our pockets, and only a guitar and mandolin. We returned successfully with $50, 6 months worth of food stamps and one of the best summer vacations ever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some knowledge about the local area I live in currently. I can share my house, travel knowledge, friendship and we have a kegerator so beer is also on tap at the house. As long as you are drinking to have a good time, and not to forget.
