CURRENT MISSION

Try to love everyone and live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I work in downtown Portland at a technology company as a Marketing Programs Manager. I live in a small studio condo in a nice area of Portland with my little Chinese pug, Mayzee and my CAT. I am a laid back person that just wants to live life to the fullest. I believe in a higher being and that this world, through all of the negativity, comes a lot of beauty. I am pretty optimistic and just want to be good to others.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not conform to the world, be an individual.

Be optimistic.

Be a good person and good to others.

Stress, regret and guilt are useless emotions. Live free!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A roommate of mine joined CS back in April 2007...needless to say in the whole month of April there were four days where no one was on our couch! After having so many wonderful guests we decided to travel Europe and experience couch surfing from a surfers point of view. We had the best time! It is a great way to travel and I have met some incredible people through participating.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone who has stayed with me and who I have stayed with has been great. I have met fun, kind and carefree people along the way...traveling seems to be such a great experience and a way to live everyday to the fullest.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up watching the Die Hard series at Christmas; Planes, Trains & Automobiles around Thanksgiving; Tremors or The Burbs every time we needed a good laugh; but I would say some of my favorites include - any Christopher Guest movie, Sideways, Crazy Beautiful, The Breakfast Club, The Last of the Mochians; needless to say, I have a wide range of taste...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm...that is a tough question. Every time I go hiking, I am amazed by the beautiful views. I think climbing Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens was pretty amazing. Also, completing the Hood to Coast relay was wonderful!

When I was in France, my CSers took me snow shoeing in the French Alps - absolutely beautiful!
