CURRENT MISSION

Going to school but wishing I could be adventuring!

ABOUT ME

I am an Alaskan born and raised. I love to adventure, hike, walk, ride bikes, urban exploration, rural exploration, etc. I'm really friendly and I like to help people. I love to learn about people and hear about their stories. I think everyone is interesting and has something to teach me. I don't have a Facebook profile but feel free to follow me on my Instagram: https://instagram.com/tcjellis :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Be nice and smile. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the fall, winter, and spring of 2009/2010 I lived in France with my ex-wife. We traveled around Europe for many months using couchsurfing. We were able to host several times and spent a lot of time in many wonderful people's homes. Now back in the states I am by myself but looking forward to many more wonderful visits with future Couchsurfing friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Simply amazing. Everyone I've ever met, 50+ hosts and 5+ guests were incredible! Couchsurfing is without a doubt the best way to meet and find new people. It never fails to impress.

Interests

Adventures! I love to be outside and playing. Hiking, Biking, Walking, Camping, Climbing (trees and/or mountains, I"m not picky!), Geocaching, etc. Beyond that, I spend my free time relaxing at home, playing Magic the Gathering, swing dancing and playing board games. I love museums, libraries, art galleries, and book stores.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like action, science fiction, and comedy movies. Especially romantic comedies. I listen to country and rap music. What? They totally go together! Fantasy is my preferred genre of book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A wonderful cross country road trip with a great friend in which I saw two countries, multiple states, multiple provinces, countless wild animals, and thousands of miles of road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very good at the card game known as Magic the Gathering. I can speak French moderately well and am always looking to expand my knowledge. Learn: Whatever you can teach me. :)

I love staying with people and am a quiet and friendly guy. I love to cook and would be glad to share my cooking abilities with you!
