Down to hang out and explore around Portland and the Gorge! Let's go find good beers and food:)

About me

I love hearing other people's stories, and talking about life or absolutely anything. Always down to adventure and try things that take me out of my routines. I grew up near Portland, Oregon, and spent 5 years in Seattle, Washington, so the Northwest will always have my heart, but I adore being anywhere with sunshine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

meet new people, see the world, gather inspiration :)

Interests

I enjoy hiking, bouldering, acro-yoga (thanks couchsurfing!) and eating (seriously, lots). I love catching concerts and seeing art, big or small. I'm a sculptor turned goldsmith and always creating something:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Favorite shows have been Tycho, Bad Bad Not Good, Eliot Sumner, and Explosions in the Sky

Movies: I'm an absolute wimp when it comes to horror movies, but love those kinda-trippy-make-you-think-movies. I consider Airplane! a cult-classic, and my family is that cult.

Books: The Cave by Jose Saramago; Cortazar's short stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's make dinner together! Down to help with art of any sort, nutrition, or cartwheels :) i'm definitely an empath and can always lend an ear.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love food, and am always down to cook a healthy meal or try on a new recipe. Depending on what I've been up to I can usually bring some home-brews as well:)
