About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Teach English, Play Ukulele, Paint murals and Make GnarLEE Art (FB my artist page!)

ABOUT ME
I'm a happy, free-spirited, young English teacher. I am easy-going, motivated, sports- active and artsy. I love animals, nature and good beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm coming back from 9 months in Mexico in July. Im hoping to find a couch for me and my girlfriend (lesbian**) for a couple days before road-tripping back to Oregon . (**we are nice, non-drama, still open to making new friends!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only traveled around Oregon with Couch Surfers so far. But during those first experiences, I have found very awesome people. I shared good beer, they showed me what's good in the town. And surprisingly, I have re-connected with these same CS hosts at concerts and festivals in later months. Great times!

Interests

Running trails through the wilderness, making art while listening to music, playing rugby with my friends, swimming in gorgeous, snowboarding in epic Pow and bananagrams. I play ukulele and try new things whenever I can.
I was teaching English in Mexico, and will be trying to teach online in the next couple months of travel. From July onwards, I will be traveling USA: Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Texas, and finally Montana where I hope to live for the winter as a Snowboard Instructor.
