About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm living my life and want to continue to meet people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME
I've lived abroad a few times and want to continue to travel. Sometimes it's hard to meet people when traveling so I'm trying CS again to help. I'm open to hanging out with people traveling to Portland, OR.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm a curious person, I value diversity and enjoy learning about other cultures and what others think of people from the United States. Also, be a kind person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At this point I'm just looking to hang out with people who are traveling here in Portland, OR or while I am traveling abroad. It can be hard to meet people on vacation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted travelers in the US and have been a guest while in Mexico for 6 months in 2014-2015. I'm going to Scandinavia in a few months and looking to meet people to hang out.

Interests

I like riding my bike, snowboarding a few days a year, watching movies, and going to the theater. I'm politically active in the Democratic Socialists of America.

  • theater
  • reading
  • volunteer work
  • cycling
  • geopolitics
  • drinking beer

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is Gattaca with Jude Law and Ethan Hawke. My all time favorite TV show is Breaking Bad. I don't really have a favorite non-fiction book but there are several I really enjoyed. I like most types of music really, but not country. I like The Who a lot and some singer/song writers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a cock fight in a rural area in Chacahua, Mexico and it was barbaric, gross and awesome all at the same time. A one time experience though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have to share with you just the experience of being human and what that is like for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A reliable and considerate person.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Slovakia

Countries I’ve Lived In
