Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I (do not at the moment, but normally) have a couch available in Portland (makeshift bed) or if you like coffee, that is something I can help with also.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Please come stay with me! I love meeting new people, with school I am very busy but would love to help a fellow traveller out. I haven't ever couchsurfed before, but am headed to europe for winter break (Spain, France and then Italy) and am hoping this will be my first opportunity!

Interests

Culture! Education. Running, skiing, music, urban areas, rural areas, areas... I love cooking and the sciences of food!
My educational interests and personal goals mesh as I work to understand the affects of tradition and culture in communities dependent on biological resources in decline-- this interest is long term, and thus far expands to include communities of people but could be focused microcosmically on small systems, such as bird populations with "traditional" approaches to mating.
