My name is Ian. I love anything and everything to do with the outdoors. Hiking, camping, backpacking, mountain biking, etc. I've been an Oregonian for 20+ years and have spent 10+ years in the Portland area.

UPDATE:
I'll be spending 2017 and 2018 in San Francisco, CA and will not be able to host at my house in Portland, OR

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in meeting new people, sharing stories, and having a place a crash when I'm abroad or on the road. I also enjoy hosting people at my house and showing them what the Portland area has to offer.

Interests

Hiking, backpacking, kayaking, photography, road trips, traveling, disc golf, paragliding, motorcycling, mountain biking

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much anything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Iceland with no plans. Ended up renting a car and driving it around the entire country (almost 2000km) in 5 days, sleeping in the front seats every night

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a 3 bedroom townhouse in Vancouver WA. I'm 2 miles from crossing over to Portland, OR. I do have 2 roommates in the house that occupy both the spare bedrooms

I have a couple couches, a cot, or air mattress you can set up in my living room. Also room on the street or driveway to park your vehicle

You're welcome to use my kitchen as long as you pick up after yourself. Also welcome to use the shower and washer/dryer

I've been around the area for quite some time so I'd be happy to give you some pointers on what to do/where to hike.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, Monaco, Switzerland, Thailand, United States, Vatican City State
