I love people! Seriously, meeting new people and conversations about life, dreams and goals are so life giving to me. I enjoy deep conversation and people from different walks of life.

As far as details about me, I'm a social worker in Portland, OR. I work with at-risk kids who come out of the juvenile detention system, and it's a bunch of fun! Really emotionally draining some days, but also so fulfilling. I appreciate a good cup of coffee and am attempting to become a beer snob. I love music. I've also run a marathon and somehow had an enjoyable experience with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new, incredible people. To become inspired by the stories of hope, heartbreak and life. Also to help out those traveling through, as I know what it's like for someone to extend kindness and hospitality to me.
