Youngest of four raised by single mother. Parent to daughter Kera 22yo. Extreme sports and camping lifelong participant. Currently planning a cross-country bicycle trip of Oregon coastal highway. Advid outdoorsman, enjoy running, canueing, hiking, and parachuteing, and long distance swimming. I am an artist of many kinds, an accomplished carpenter, and have become a minimalist by eliminateing 100percent of my belongings and possessions that are not used daily. For 20yrs photography was my first profession. Recieving my massage therapy licensed in 2008 I have begun a very rewarding second career.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The couchsurfing concept is awsome. My place is available to others. I am on couchsurfing seeking couches during my cross-country bicycle ride June 1st thru June 16th. My route will begin in Portland, Oregon to Astoia, Or and along the entire coast down to Brookings, Or.

Interests

Anything outdoors is what I enjoy most. I believe in using what you have, and repurposing objects rather than disposing of them. Artistic design can give practical uses to items rendered useless. I enjoy puzzles, riddles, and brain exercises. Full deep breathing, stretching, and hydration are forms of excersise for me.
