CURRENT MISSION

Physical, mental health and not letting life fly by.

ABOUT ME:

Now that that is out of the way, once again I host to meet people and learn about their travels. I truly appreciate the traveling spirit. I really enjoy cooking with guests and learning about their culture.

I was a national Direct AmeriCorps member for three years. One year was in Lafayette La, another was in Pittsburgh Pa and finally here in lovely portland. I am currently studying for the professional engineering exam. I traveled for 5 years in the states and 2 years in Europe and Central America.

I work at kpff from home. I like to go hiking and watch live music on the weekend.

PHILOSOPHY

RAW logic = living instinctively

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host with the most.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but good experiences. Learned, how to cook a few things. I was given some good recommendations for places to go and things to see. All and all it's been quite nice.

Interests

Health, fantasy, helping others, knowledge, rock climbing, yoga, nature, culture, survival strategies, problem solving, the obscure, traveling, the magic hour,urban exploring (if it's run down, rusted and over grown it is beautiful) and long shadows. Whiskey, beer, rivers and good times. A healthy range of films and art or forms of creativity.
