ABOUT ME

I've lived in Portland for the last two years, but I'm originally from Buffalo, New York. I work part time for a renewable energy company. In my free time I work on creative projects. On weekends I volunteer at a community publishing studio.

PHILOSOPHY

There's a fire in your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not doing a lot of traveling right now, but I'm always down to host the occasional surfer coming through Portland. If you catch me when I'm not busy I might even be up for showing you some of my favorite spots around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed through this site once and hosted over a dozen people the few months I've had this profile. It's been incredible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once watched a police station get destroyed during a riot.

In 2012 I ditched home and hit the road, leaving the East coast for the first time in my life. Traveling across the US with friends has been an incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to read tarot cards, share some of my stories, and I'm a pretty good cook as well.
