CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world from a local's perspective and share the beauty of my own city with those wanting to visit.

ABOUT ME

I love good music, good food and good company. Growing up in Oregon I feel spoiled that I am surrounded by the finest of all of three. I work for corporate America but I don't live by their rules. I'm into debating and advocating for social justice and keep myself informed of what's going on in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

To avoid being so married to ideology and plans that I miss out on the beauty of spontaneity and truth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed for the first time during January '11 w/ my bro while on a road trip through the deep South. Haven't yet hosted anyone, no requests to date, but I think that's becuase I live in a city that isn't highly searched. I'm excited to show off my hood and help you see what makes Portland so very special!
