Just returned from an incredible two-year long journey down the Pan-American Highway (from Canada to Argentina) in an old VW van. Picked up a Mexican street dog named Lorenzo along the way, and now we're back in the US making a new home in Seattle. My place is small, but it's centrally located and walking distance from the Seattle Center (Space Needle, MoPop, Science Center, etc), two blocks from the waterfront, and a short walk to Pike's Place market. I work at a research institute full time so I'm gone most of the day, but would be glad to host one or two guests if it seems like a good fit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While traveling, I was always shown tremendous generosity by locals and other travelers, and it was always my plan to pay that generosity back someday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
