CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy today and get stoked for tomorrow

ABOUT ME
*Heads up! Last minute requests probably won't reach me in time. Best of luck!*

For fun I like to mountain bike, play cribbage, dance to anything funky, peruse books, practice spanish and share a nice meal or a cold bev. For money and fulfillment, I work in Wilderness Therapy, which means I am disconnected from any CS requests every other week. Generally, I am easy-going, helpful and friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

"Distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When you return home home is still the same, but something in your mind has changed and that changes everything." -Jonah Lehrer

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed all around Europe and have hosted at my house in Tacoma. I use CS occasionally in the US these days and am excited to host at my new home in OR.

I have been lucky to have a previous host stay at my house! It's proof of the wonders of the CS world.

Intereses

I love being outside, riding bikes, rowing boats, running, cooking, writing, making things with my hands and meeting people in unlikely circumstances. I like old buildings, cozy cafes, bars with live music, walking around cities and dancing.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I teach teenagers about nature and introduce them to healthy coping mechanisms.

They teach me how to be ready for anything, make fun out of nothing and deal with tough stuff in life.

What can you share with me? What can I share with you? Let's find out!
