CURRENT MISSION

To maximize my current happiness while recognizing assisting others is the best way to accomplish this.

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Portland about seven years after a steady migration north post being born/raised in Southern California. I can be quiet, but I enjoy people. Hobbies include but aren't limited to, seeing music, food, drink, being outside, camping, hiking, backpacking, swimming, gym, marathons, wine tasting, beer tasting, conversing, and listening.

PHILOSOPHY

A sense of ones smallness and that everything, including us, is very temporary.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've never sought out a place to stay on couch surfer but I do have future travel plans, and hosting will be an excellent way to get some karma/references for those upcoming trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

See above.

Centres d'intérêt

Politics. Music. History. Current events. I'm opinionated but like robust disagreement.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I like all music genres (the ones I've been introduced to). Not just saying that. I'd be happy to recommend some venues in town.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

One should try to see parts of themselves in everyone. Therefor, everyone you encounter has something to teach.
