CURRENT MISSION

searching for groovy host while i househunt in portland

ABOUT ME

I've just graduated from Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, and I'm about to start working in Portland for my first real grownup job! Life is good and the people I meet only make it better. I love good food and even better conversations. I don't exercise nearly as much as I should but I'm a professional at napping and watching Netflix in bed.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. - Randy Pausch

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed a few times, and will begin to host as soon as I'm settled down in Portland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've Couchsurfed a few times in Europe. My favorite memory is visiting a co-op vegan cafe in Dublin with a fellow Couchsurfer - I would have never found out about the place otherwise!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 20 minutes pondering whether I should jump off an unsupervised 30 foot cliff into water in Malta. It was so scary. I jumped. It was so worth it.

I can teach you how to fold a shirt really well. I also have a few cheap and tasty recipes up my sleeve.
