My name is Adam Verrell and I am 23 years old. Describing myself is difficult, but I will do my best. I studied Conservation Biology at the University of Washington, graduating in 2015, and promptly decided it was time to leave the US. I have been traveling for over a year and a half now (currently in Colombia), covering Central and the majority of South America. I started out my trip bicycle touring, and managed to bike from Seattle to Costa Rica before the heat got the best of me. After selling my bicycle in San Jose, I continued south as a backpacker. My flight back to the states is for the 14th of April and I am excited to settle into a more stable lifestyle for a bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in the process of moving to Portland, Oregon right now, and have a job (if everything goes right) starting the week of the 17th. I am looking for a room to sublet for May, but I really need a spot to call my own for the rest of April. I am very simple - I could camp in your back yard for all I care - as long there is a bathroom for me to use and a kitchen to cook my food!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music - but as I am in the process of coming back from South America, I am very into latin music right now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked from Seattle, WA to Costa Rica - unsupported and camping all nights but three!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in spanish and english and have a deep understanding of the environment - in all aspects. I love animals, farming, being outside, riding my bike, playing my guitar, and learning from those around me.
