About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet some awesome new friends in the Portland OR area, and get to know the town!

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old young professional/explorer who is currently looking forward to enjoying life and diving into some fantastic adventures. I'll be traveling through the Pacific Northwest on a scouting trip to find work/housing/awesome people, this will be my first time in the Portland area (my primary destination) so any good recommendations will be much appreciated! I'm looking for open minded and fun loving folk who would be interested in lending us their floor/back yard/whatever is available for a night over the course of my trip in exchange for some good conversation, storytelling, and depending how you dietary restrictions match up with my culinary abilities maybe even dinner!

PHILOSOPHY

what you put in is what you get out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I came to know about couch surfing through a past housemate who hosted several individual and group couch surfers over the course of a year. Everyone who stayed at our house was really fun, and in subsequent years I had the pleasure of hosting several other guests, and experiencing surfing myself while traveling through Southern California . It's been a few years since I've surfed but can't wait to dive in again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I once skateboarded 550 miles from Santa Cruz CA to San Diego CA, and I only had one pair of shorts!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to share stories and love to hear a great tale even better! I'm definitely a music head and if you like talking about music we can definitely have a good time, also my knowledge of random culty art movies/books is starting to grow in some crazy directions so I'd love to hear your favorites! Philosophy, Science, personal mantras are all fair game in my book, always stoked for different points of view/incites/sillyness!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will happily cook for whomever is interested during my stay, and I don't mind pitching if there is anything that needs doing! I'm super friendly but can keep a low profile when necessary, sharing in conversation is something I enjoy and for willing adventurers you're welcome to tag along for any outings etc!
