Hi! My name is Khristina and I moved to Portland 8 months ago. I’m looking for friends to hike and travel with! I have much exploring to still do out here on the West Coast and there are lots of outdoor activities that I still want to try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine recently introduced me to couchsurfing and, after my first experience with it this past week, I LOVE IT! It's so great to be part of a community in which people are happily and graciously open to sharing their homes with complete strangers. This is the kind of world I want to live in. So aside from using couchsurfing to explore new cities, I'm using it to make new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Rainbow Gathering a couple of years back. I think that's pretty amazing. Hope to go to another one soon, and hopefully Burning Man, too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share good conversations, suggestions for films and movies, and random stories about the world picked up from listening to NPR and being on Twitter too much.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, a vehicle to get around town, invitation to whatever activities I get into on my trip.
