I'm Hana! I want to create a vibrant cultural community of friends and bring awesome people to Portland :)

Please only request if you have a completed portfolio and a reference- My roommates and I want to be able to make a good decision about this experience with you!

I really want to host but I work a full time job and may be out of town most weekends... But let me know! We possibly can work things out :)

I couch surfed the entire summer of 2015 through Europe and it was such an incredible time! I also hosted people when I lived for 2 years at the student co-ops while in Eugene- mostly it was people associated through the cooperative but also word of mouth hitchhikers and travelers. It was a great way to meet people. It seems like a perfect way to travel.
