----might be able to host but 1-2 nights MAX! I like to show my surfers around so if you're into that, please take into consideration that I work Mon-Fri and the weekends work best. I have a car but commute by bike or walking and if I show you around, I expect the same from you! Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy Portland!

CURRENT MISSION

Seek the higher powers of human connectivity

ABOUT ME

We're Amanda and Amanda. Sometimes we travel together, sometimes not. One Amanda hosts, the other doesn't.

Amanda Uno is an illustrator/image editor/video artist/crafter....that works at a coffee shop. She will most likely cook you food and it will be tasty.

PHILOSOPHY

New day new eyes --Amanda Dos

Traveling has opened my eyes to things I never thought I would see. I am amazed by life. It is cruel, harsh, terrifying, and consequently, beautiful, forgiving and loving. We all play part of this intricate dance and must acknowledge our place within it. I am thankful everyday for the kind and generous people I have been so fortunate to meet. --Amanda Uno

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and hosted!
I know this website is constantly changing and bringing in a new demographic. I know there are still kind and generous CSers out there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's amazing what kind of people can enter your world just by looking for a place to stay. Being allowed to experience a different country from a local's point-of-view is something that should not be taken for granted.
