Trying to become a real person, making art out of indecision, learning everything I can. I'm quiet but I'll open up if I like you and you're funny. I paint complicated abstract stuff and write fiction and play music and stay up really late and wander about at night. I want to experience everything but also I'm shy, oh well

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've been surfing in many places and met some awesome people, and it's saved my life on one occasion at least. I recently moved to Portland OR and am setting up a new life here in the Pacific Northwest. Looking to make new friends and see new things, and host some people when I get an actual couch.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to make some cool origami, fly-fish or tie flies, make croissants (if you have all day) or some kickass cookies, and stay up really late. I love learning interesting skills and facts, especially ones that seem useless or esoteric at first. Also new recipes and cooking methods are awesome.
