ABOUT ME

Fun loving, creative, open-minded human looking to connect with world travelers and expand my community. I am an artist and activist as well as a student of life. I love speaking Spanish and making art out of reclaimed materials, as well as costuming, music, and spontaneous parades. I am involved with the natural building community here in Portland and have a Skill Share Studio that I run out of my renovated garage, open studios every Tuesday night!

PHILOSOPHY

Whether you believe you can or you believe you can't, you're right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to be more connected to couchsurfing, especially between community and education spaces. I'm a traveler and look forward to continuing my tour of amazing places in a spot near you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spent many a night on various couches (and floors) over the years, some more comfortable than others. I'm happy to say that what I have to offer is pretty dang comfy if only available sporadically. I am more available to get together and I can give you an insider's view into Portland, maybe lend you a bike or a book, or an adventure.
