CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Tommy. I've been living in Portland for the past year and love the city. I'm also an aspiring food cart expert.

I try to take things easy. I'd say there are a bunch of different sides of me; I can be nerdy, or adventurous, or intellectual; different types of people bring out different sides of my personality. I'm always looking for new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an acquired taste, but a good one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted visiting friends and family to my place. I'm looking to host more and eventually take some couch surfing trips across the country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted before and met for drinks. I haven't done any surfing yet.

Interests

Web design, photography, martial arts, volunteering, video games, exploring. I'm new to biking and hiking, but I'm picking it up more the longer I live in Portland.
