I love to laugh. Love to listen. I'm kind, curious, loyal, adventurous, smart. I'm friendly but can be quiet, mostly because I like to observe. My mother was born in South Korea, father was born in Oregon, USA. My father's side of the family came from Scotland. I was born in Kansas.
I could eat Mexican food for each meal every day for the rest of my life and be okay with that. Love a good malbec.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Challenging my fear of backpacking alone by planning and doing a 24 hour solo trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to get organized and how to downsize. Declutter! I have a passion for design and creating beautiful home and work environments. I'm pretty decent at baking and enjoy cooking.
I can get nerdy with math, especially algebra.
I am open to learning anything interesting that another person wants to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people from all walks of life.
I enjoy sharing anything I know about Oregon history, wine, and geography. I'm a big fan of the place I call home.
