Living my best life in Portland Oregon with continued focus on more travel and continuing adventures. I have dedicated my career to helping others who experience living outside with intersectionality of mental health and active substance use. My daughter is off at college so transitioning to a different house life. Have been part of the Burning Man community since 2014 and work to integrate those principles in my life as often as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and did some Couchsurfing both hosting and traveling because we love to meet people along a journey. Offering and sharing resources is critical to building community. We have been away for many years due to life but I am back now to travel through Europe and will offer hosting when the house finishing transiting.
