CURRENT MISSION

To attain Wisdom, Knowledge and Beauty.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy to get along with, kind and polite. Funny, interesting and charming when I want to engage with others. If not, I will sit there quietly and observe what's going on. I'm sarcastic. I'll do anything twice. I'm a bit of a dilettante and a libertine. I'm usually very friendly and easy-going.

PHILOSOPHY

Live dangerously. The road of excess leads to the palace of Wisdom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm visiting Portland (first time!) for a week-long Tango for Musicians workshop at Reed College June 25th through July 2nd. I'll be staying in the dorms during that time, but I want to come a few days early to meet some people to have fun with while I'm there.

I've always wanted to live in Portland, and I plan on being gone all day, gallivanting around town taking photographs. I'm happy to fly solo to see the city or socialize to find out what the people are like!
