About Me

I am easy going and up for adventures. Also ready to just chill. I try to follow the path of least resistance and when I can, walk slowly to take everything in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend Ben and I are looking for places to stay as we travel from Michigan to Portland from July 10-22nd. In the places we stop where we don't know folks it would be great to experience the town from a local point of view VS a tourist point of view.

Interests

I'm into hiking, star gazing, going to small shows, birds, biology, how things work, community organizing, just chilling and drinking beers.

  • birds
  • culture
  • beer
  • yoga
  • gardening

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Work with a committee that raises funds for political prisoners and communities displaced by land grabbing corporations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basic Tagalog. I'm learning ukulele, would love to share or learn more from others. I want to learn more string instruments like guitar and banjo as well. I can share what I know about community organizing and engage in discussions around that as well as things related to the Philippines/Filipino(a)s - if anyone is interested :) I am also cool with shutting that off and just enjoying each moment to moment as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share what I know about community organizing. I am down to help with projects like gardening, building, creating.

Countries I’ve Visited
