ABOUT ME

I've spent the last 13 years pursuing travel and working seasonal jobs in national parks around the U.S. I love traveling and have so far been to 14 countries and lived abroad in New Zealand. Looking to connect with some cool people! I love the opportunity to see a place like a local and form a deeper connection with couchsurfing. I'm also excited to finally be able to host travelers at my home on the Oregon coast!

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day like it was your last one, one day you're gonna be right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to surf all over the world! And one day hopefully I will be able to host. I love meeting new people from different walks of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with a couple people from this site and had incredible experiences!
Most recently met up for drinks and hiking with a couple other people while traveling around Australia and New Zealand.
