ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Olivia! I'm new to the Couchsurfing community, but have been an avid traveler for a while. I did a round the world trip in 2008/2009, before coming back to Portland to get back in to the more conventional groove of life. Portland is my home base, but spend a couple months each year traveling - living and working remotely.

My last live/work experiment was in Valencia, Spain, and next up is Berlin, Germany.

PHILOSOPHY

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” –Helen Keller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to give you tips on Portland and the Pacific Northwest. I don't currently have a couch to share, but I can meet up for coffee or a drink and show you some of my favorite Portland spots!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to Couchsurfing although I've gone to meetups, met Couchsurfers, and done "unofficial" Couchsurfing since 2007.
