I love traveling (obviously) and the outdoors. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places. If I'm on a beach or on the water I'm probably at peak happiness. Otherwise, I really love baseball, nature, good walks, and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To provide a jumping off point for people to explore Portland, Oregon and hopefully meet some new people from around the world!
