I grew up in Portland, Or. and moved to Vancouver, BC for college. I ended up staying for 7 years (and did a lot of couchsurf hosting). I moved back to Portland for 4 years where I started making short films. Now I live in NYC. It's unfortunately difficult to host people in an NYC apartment, but hoping I can get back into it soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from other countries and be able to introduce them to what my city has to offer. Some of the people I've met through Couchsurfing have become genuine friends!
