Hello! I am a healthcare provider living in Eugene, OR in the Pacific Northwest. Love backpacking and the outdoors. If you come by I might show you the best spots around here

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled a bit, India, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, and have received so much hospitality from locals around the globe that I need to repay the gift. I am beginning to settle down and just bought a house with a spare bedroom, so am looking to host some travelers. Anyone is welcome, but preferential treatment is given to international folks
