CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm back in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I live with my girlfriend and our dog in our SE Portland apartment. Currently working at a hotel and trying to save money. It's been a while since I've done much traveling and even longer since I last looked at my CS account so I figured it was time to update it and get back involved.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our apartment is pretty small but there is a futon to sleep on for the right person under the right circumstances if said person doesn't perhaps mind sharing with our dog Pepper. Otherwise I'd be happy to have coffee or a beer with visitors. Especially interested in any opportunity to use my French again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been out of the loop for a while but used CS pretty extensively while living in Europe. I've met so many wonderful people and my travels have been so much more fun, rewarding, and unpredictable with couchsurfing than they would have been otherwise.

Interessen

Reading, writing, music, playing guitar, singing, learning about/meeting people from different cultures, beer. I'm relatively quiet and enjoy reflection and contemplation. Very easy going and I get along with most everyone.
