CURRENT MISSION

Travel and explore the west coast while making art.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Freelance Illustrator looking for some new experiences on the West Coast while I look for job opportunities. I have a lot of travel experience and love meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to examine the details of any situation I'm in. I don't plan too far ahead, so that I can take advantage of any opportunities that come my way. I try not to step on anyone's toes without being boring. The one thing I'm sure of is that I could be wrong about anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have nice space to host surfers near downtown Portland Oregon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on the couches of friends, family, acquaintances and complete strangers throughout Europe, the East coast of the United States, and Vietnam as a child. This has made me a fairly adaptable traveler as an adult.

Interests

Painting, Drawing, Reading, Surfing the Web, Boxing, Fencing, and Jumping-Rope.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly nonfiction lately but i'll still pick up any Neal Stephenson, Elmore Leonard, Alejandro Jodorowsky, historical novels and pretty much any kind of movie if I'm in the mood. Most of my music preferences are still stuck in the 90s.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling up and down Vietnam as a young teen was a great experience, although I didn't fully appreciate it at the time. Whenever I get the omakase at Tanuki in Portland it qualifies as amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a professional portrait artist, and know quite a bit about mural-making and oil painting. I've managed to become a passable cook over the years as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland, United States, Vatican City State, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Germany, Spain, United States
