CURRENT MISSION

Friends and Travel of course.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25 year old from Oregon/Alaska. I'm pre-chiropractic. I'm studying Japanese in my free time and I plan to go across the ocean (again) for awhile before my Chiropractic program starts.
I am not currently in a band, but I play saxophone and guitar. I am not a Bear Grylls but I enjoy hiking. I'm not in any triathalons, but I enjoy biking. I'm not a chef, but I love food and cooking. I'm not a philosopher, but I have my moments. I'm not perfect, but I am loving.

PHILOSOPHY

Really!? Well, Alright.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just moved into a new house in Portland and setting it up so we can accept couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met plenty of friends' surfers, but haven't hosted myself yet.
I'm not in a position to host in my current house, but that will change in 6 months when I am living in a new home. I can hang out if you come to beautiful Portland OR or Seward AK.

Teach, Learn, Share
