ABOUT ME
I am from Portland, Oregon but have traveled around the world and hope to continue to do so. I love learning, getting to know people, cooking, taking tours, going out, hiking, ceramics, dancing, camping, running, reading, drinking coffee, listening to music, and traveling. I am open minded and enjoy meeting people. I just finished teaching English in Antofagasta Chile and Toulouse France. Now I work renting cars and trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I am eager to return to the life of living out of my backpack and going on adventures. I'd love to host you if you are independent and can do things on your own, respectful of people space, and on time!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Joined Couchsurfing after reading about it in the newspaper and thought it was a fantastic idea. I have couchsurfed in Europe, Tunisia, the USA and in South America. I have hosted in Toulouse, France and ready to host in Portland!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been to Oktoberfest with a host, had a private tour of New Orleans from a host, ate tacos in Charleston, toured Rennes,boat tours and ice cream in Valparaiso, enjoyed the rooftop views in Tunis, and enjoyed all the unique experiences I've had with my hosts. I learn a ton from hosts and surfers and want to continue to make friends from all over the world!
