CURRENT MISSION

Learn everything I can.

ABOUT ME

I just moved to Oregon from Texas. Up until recently my life has been in an odd sort of limbo consisting of school and putting off adulthood. Now that I've graduated and have a job, I'm getting used to my new reality. I don't mean that to sound as ominous as it might come across. Actually, I enjoy the idea of all the possibilities this new chapter of my life affords me.

PHILOSOPHY

I am connected to everyone and everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While finding a place to stay hasn't worked out for me, I have met some really fun people at couchsurfing events. I love to travel and meet new people, so CS seems like the perfect way to do both.

I have gone to a few Couchsurfing meet ups. I've met great people there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make Mexican food and write a press release. I'm sure there are many other things I can teach you; I just can't think of any right now.

I'd like to become fluent in Italian. I'd like to learn French. I'd like to learn embroidery. I want to learn how to cook a dish from every country I visit.
