My name is Chase and I am currently an outdoor educator and environmental educator with the YMCA of Greater Seattle. I take local youth on backpacking trips to places such as Mt. Rainer, North Cascades, Olympic National Forest. I currently live in Portland, OR but will commute every now and then for my summer job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
