About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Approach singularity

ABOUT ME

Prior to my bohemian lifestyle in Portland, I was an English in Bohemia for a year and really enjoy Central Europe. I'm earning my master of urban and regional planning from Portland State University. I'm also working, which means I'm a busy person! I like hiking, biking, winter sports, photography, films, nature, music, and traveling. I'm also gay, just sayin'.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Helsinki, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, and Seattle, and I've met some people from CS for coffee. I've also spent time with some CSers when a friend has hosted them.
