Hello! My name is Gavin.

During the day I go to school at Portland State University where I conduct public health research and work health communication campaign development. Ask me anything about the integrated model for behavioral prediction or the social cognitive theory!

I am very interested in theatre arts/performance. I have recently performed in Portland, Oregon as Ernie Cusack in Neil Simon's Rumors, and as Feste the Jester in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. I am a part of a new play development program with Portland play writes. I am very lucky to get to work with the amazing artists and driven producers I do.

I have two siblings whom I love very much, and a great group of friends who support and inspire me to be the best person I can be.

I look forward to meeting you,
--Gavin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people who think and see the world differently than I do is the best way I know for myself to grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2017 I was fortunate enough to take a backpacking trip through Alaska, USA and through The Yukon Territory, Canada. Now I want to adventure and explore more of the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am pretty educated on a number of topics including healthcare, philosophy, and theater! Improvised theater is a specialty of mine. Hopefully we can share part of the human experience, whether that be a wild adventure or a close personal connection.
