CURRENT MISSION

To learn and grow through traveling on a budget.

ABOUT ME

I'm new to Portland and still adapting. Recently I taught English as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Azerbaijan for 2 years. Before that I had lived in Tucson my whole life. I love learning about other people and all the different ways of living around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is too big and diverse to only be concerned with what is familiar to us. Traveling promotes understanding and peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couch surfed twice in the Baltics, but had good experiences. Everyone was very generous with their homes, time and knowledge of their country.
