About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My main objective in life is to make the world a better place. Along the way, I want to see and meet as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am currently employed as a social worker by a non-profit company here in Portland. Our focus consists of assisting homeless individuals and families with long-term housing. I genuinely enjoy the opportunity I have been given to make an impact in the lives of numerous people.

Personally, I love to try and experience new things and I enjoy making new friends. I am an open-minded and carefree person.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel fortunate for being alive, healthy and free to pursue my various interests. I am truly grateful for every single day that I can continue to live, learn and grow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have both surfed and hosted and I have only positive things to say about all of my CS experiences! I plan on being an active part of this community for as long as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed exclusively in Europe during the summer of 2009 on a backpacking trip with my best friend. Since my return, I have been lucky enough to host some wonderful guests. I plan on couchsurfing for my future trips as I much rather would stay with friendly, interesting people and make new friends along the way

13 July, 2007. Pamplona, Spain. Ran with the bulls and it was by far the scariest thing I have ever done in my life!
