Hi! I hail from Eugene, Oregon where I live in a co-op and work for a non-profit. I’m a big time people person, and love making connections and getting to know people. I sure hope to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is hanging with locals and learning about their world. I love taking recommendations, meeting new people, sharing meals, and discovering niches and hobbies I didn't know existed.

Big fan of jam bands and bluegrass music, detective/investigation movies and TV show, and self-help books.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always curious to learn new recipes and share the good ones I know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can chat about books and music for hours, am happy to help in the kitchen and with chores, and am a certified good-time at live music events (aka first on the dance floor). I also have a well of recommendations and connections in Oregon if hosts ever plan to travel that way.
