CURRENT MISSION

Trans Siberian Railroad with a stop in Timbuktu, a little peanut butter along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty adventurous, always ready for a road trip, I love walking around, either in the woods, desert, or busy city sidewalks. I love Oregon, my home, but I'm trying on some other places on for size, some good, some bad, but all nothing less than what they are.
I'm normally pretty quiet, and it takes me a couple hours to warm up around new people, but I'm otherwise friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

They're all wonderful people, we wish them all the best. Every individual is trying to get through the day as best as they know how, their idea of right and wrong will never completely fit my own, that's ok.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only CouchSurfed once, in Boston the Fall of 2011, and I loved it. I look forward to traveling by this more often.

Interests

I really like film photography, I'm not terribly good, and it's something I just picked up this summer, and it's not economical, but I like it.

• photography
• cooking
• walking
• traveling
• languages

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm definitely not a pro, but I can show you the basics in film-photography and the like.

I love languages, and while I'm terrible enough at Russian after a year, I can teach rudimentary Russian.

If you know any Slavic languages and Eastern Mediterranean and South Slavic cooking, look me up because I would love to glean some knowledge from you.
