About Me

CURRENT MISSION

allowing myself to liberate from the anchor

ABOUT ME

Post-graduate syndrome. Yep...don't know what's up. But it doesn't matter because I'm alive in Portland, Oregon. It's such a great city to wake up to everyday. I'm into cities and traveling through them. I like listening to accents that are different than mine. Listening and dancing to music is really important to me. And despite my introvertedness, I like being social (surprise!). Let's talk. Peace.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to others....
even if they are not nice in return.

Never be afraid to love...
it can change your life.

Don't be afraid to take risks...
because we do everyday.

Learn as much as you can...
Its what makes humans unique

And most importantly.
Be your own friend, love yourself...
as people come and go with the change of time,
you will always have you.

(This is my personal philosophy -- by no means does it mean that I have fulfilled all of these. -- This is just a guide for what kind of life I want to live, and its what I value in myself and others. We are always growing and trying to improve. Some people are further along, and some people take longer. It's OK.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes I hang out with the local couch surfers.
Travel to new (or old) places to visit.
Hang out with the locals in different cities/towns/etc...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Winter 2011, and since then made some wonderful friends throughout the U.S. as well as Europe.

Interests

Hikes, canoes, camps, and always eager to try new outdoor activities. I like to draw, write, and read when I feel inspired to do so. More recently I have gotten into photography, although I am very much an amateur. I really like meeting people, and having great conversations. And for sure I'm down for the tunes: music is so powerful

Just one? Well, recently...cruising down The PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) during the sunset listening to Beruit with some pretty amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my philosophies about life, love, culture, society, and cities. If you ever want to raise chickens or analyze cities... you can talk to me. I want to hear about your personal life philosophies, what your hobbies are, and how you got to where you are? What is your personality?
