About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy people, explore anything new!

ABOUT ME

32 year old native Portlandian. Love playing ultimate frisbee & soccer, drinking microbrews, watching the Portland Trailblazers, meeting new people, getting outside (camping, hiking, surfing, snowboarding mostly). Favorite places to go in the evenings: pubs, live music shows, good restaurants, bookstore.

PHILOSOPHY

Always do your best to stay inspired and the rest will fall into place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until I get my 4 housemates on board, I'm participating as a tour guide in my hometown. If you're in Portland for a few days and want to know where to go, what to do, etc. I'm your girl! If I can join you, I will. Just depends on the good ol' schedule.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a rookie in the professional couch surfing arena, but I have surfed on many a friend's couch. Best experiences are when I get some alone time, some together time, and we enjoy some local scene together.
