CURRENT MISSION

To find what I love in life

ABOUT ME

I am a funny person, love to laugh and find humor in offbeat things but sometimes I can be serious. I plan too much and I'm very practical and rational when it comes to most things. I am generally shy at first till I get into my element. I love cake, a lot, any kind of cake. As long as it's vegan.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow! heavy stuff and I can't say I honestly know, it changes daily. Although that is one thing I adhear to, change. It is the only constant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did surf on my trip up the west coast but currently I am open to hosting in Portland

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed up the west coast and in Canada and met some great people along the way. One of which allowed me to stay long enough to find a job and more permanent place here in Portland.

Interests

My custom '77 Dodge Tradesman 200 (sold but now have a '76 Honda civic!), I love music, playing the drums, meeting people who I click with, nice old cars, laughing, trying new things, craft cocktails and great vegan food, joking around, one thing I don't like are filling out questions like these, but I have no choice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am deathly afraid of snakes and while hiking in Maine recently I almost stepped on one. He froze, I froze and after about 10 minutes of looking each other in the eyes both of us equally scared s*#!less and hoping the other would leave, I chose to be the bigger man and carefully walked around him. OK it wasn't that amazing but we had a connection!
