I am silly, spontaneous, caring, friendly, conscientious, enthusiastic, quirky, fun, patient, open-minded, easy-going, talkative, imaginative, romantic, and kind of loud sometimes. But I'm also shy at first, easily distracted, introspective, stubborn, clumsy, impulsive, sometimes stinky, unsure, unorganized, and self-conscious.
I am a vegetarian, environmentalist, friend, lover, dreamer, human.
I love cycling, mushrooms, and doing yoga.

I completed my 200 hr YTT in 2014. In 2013 I spent the summer living out of my tent in the Klamath Wilderness blazing trails. Now I'm serving up cups o'joe and taking dogs on thrilling adventures and playtimes in Portland, Oregon.

PHILOSOPHY

Today's going to be an adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently just a surfer myself. I have hosted a few surfers in a shared home I used to be in. My current housing doesn't allow for surfers but I'm more than willing to give advice about what to do and where to go while visiting the PNW. I'm super busy working all hours of the day and night but you never know, you might catch me with time to go out on a hike with you!

I have surfed across the country when I was transplanting myself from Florida to the Pacific NW. I had so many great experiences and met a bunch of great people.

Interests

traveling, of course! There's just so much to see, so many people to meet, and so much to learn!
I have been described as a mycophile! I am very interested in learning about mushrooms.
