CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Last stops: Australia, Japan, Thailand, Korea, Canada, Hawaii
Next stop: GRAND CAYMAN !!

PHILOSOPHY

Working on this one right now...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering a couch & solid advice on getting the most out of visiting/touring PDX for all travelers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only been hosting in Portland and trying to make it to meet-ups whenever I can, though my next international trip I'll be surfing as much as possible :-D

Interests

Anything outdoors: hiking, running, rock climbing, snowboarding, biking, scuba diving, snorkeling, frisbee, geocaching, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, swimming, mountain climbing, (clay) pigeon shooting, and a little golf & tennis.
Parkour is next on the table for learning :-)

When not outside, movies, food-carting/Yelping, medicine, politics, BBQing & music can always occupy a bit of time, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the most beautiful sunrise from the top of a mountain and walked on top of a gurgling volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about other people's passions and interests. Whatever makes you tick, be it travel hacking, hitchiking, WWOOFing, art, music, food, "living on the edge", it's all fascinating to me!
