ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in Vermont (USA) surrounded by beaver ponds and also lived in the "big" city of Portland, Oregon for a while...a cool funky town full of coffee shops, gardens, hipsters, environmentalists and live music. I am a pretty genuine, open minded person, and when you really get to know me, pretty zany... I love hanging out with close friends, goofing around and lounging around outside is what I do best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a lot of couch surfing one summer in Europe and met a lot of awesome generous people. I don't have a place where I can host people but I hope to some day soon.
