I'm moving in the direction I want to be moving in life, and I'm looking forward to meeting you on the way, on your way and offering what I can -- good company and a great cup of coffee. I roast and brew coffee as my passion and I'm working my way toward doing what I love for a living. You can expect open and honest appreciation, a hand or an ear to lend if you need anything and a great outlook on life in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've decided that I want to move from Portland to Asheville, N.C. and I want to spend my remaining time in Portland seeing as much as I can and meeting as many great people as I can.
