Enjoying all life has to offer in PDX and traveling whenever possible! I love outdoor adventure, music, and good food and drink.

I am very social and generous and love people. Life is an adventure!

The excitement of life and trying new things keeps me moving forward.

Come stay, and bring a friend - or let me hang with you at your place. Either way, do good, and be happy.

Open heart, open mind - keep it real and keep it right!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet good people and provide a great spot for visitors in the great city of Portland.

I'd also like to be able to stay with other inviting hosts if I am traveling elsewhere.

I am here to see the world and it's people and have fun doing it!
