CURRENT MISSION

Have an awesome spring and summer in Portland....

ABOUT ME

Currently I'm a full time student at PSU working toward a degree in Women's Studies and European Studies. If you ever want to discuss feminist theory in Russian then come to me. I don't have a clue as to what I'll do with my degree but I see graduate school some where in my future...

PHILOSOPHY

A few quotes to live by:

"I want to have my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames." ~ Jim Morrison

"Friends are like chocolate chips. It is good to keep them close by." ~Fortune Cookie

"Nothing so broadens a person's perspective as travel to a foreign land." ~Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have yet to surf or host anyone but I hope to participate in every way I can by surfing with people and showing people around the great city of Portland.

Interests

Scuba diving, dragon boating, swimming, pretty much anything water related... Slavic languages, crafts from recycled materials, sustainability, frolicking in the beautiful Oregon environment, ending social oppressions and making a less exploitive, more peaceful world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fahrenheit 451- both the book and the movie are awesome, Night Watch, Fried Green Tomatoes- again both the book and the movie are awesome, any book by Tamara Pierce or Maggie Furey, American Gods by Neil Gaiman- Neverwhere was pretty good too but I liked American Gods better, Fight Club, Snatch, Musime Si Pomahat-Divided We Fall. My current favorite read when I have free time is the comic series the Walking Dead and I never get tired of reading the Night Watch series (or seeing the movies).
