I am a Portlander that enjoys traveling and eating. I live an active lifestyle that I like to carry over to my travels. Morning hike and a big afternoon lunch is my version of work hard, play hard. I work in the sports footwear industry as a marketing project manager.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the authenticity of meeting local people and living among locals for all of my travels.
