Description
Hi, I'm a freelance photographer, who is moving over to Portland OR to attend PCC. You'll never see me without a camera in my hands! Love outdoors, animals, landscaping and swimming in the ocean. Previously spent 4 years in Missoula, Montana getting a BA in philosophy and journalism and one year in Hana, Hawaii working on land (trough workaway). For the past year and a half, residing in NYC, where I worked as a restaurant manager and a gymnastics teacher. Traveling is one of my biggest passions, and I love the diversity of this country and wonderful people I'm lucky to meet!

What else ...
I believe that the best experience comes from living and sharing experiences with people that are local the destination. I'm definitely looking for more than merely a tourist experience, that's why I always try to get engaged with a local community.

Jason and Linda are very caring and open hosts, they provide a lot for the workers in exchange for some landscaping jobs that are fairly easy and, if anything, meditative.
