I am a California native on my way home from the Seattle area. I'm generally a pretty easy-going, quirky, and happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I like frugal thrills and seeing new perspectives. Consider hosting/visiting if you like sharing food, music, or philosophy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I find myself needing a place to stay, I'd much rather prefer a local experience over commercial lodging. I think that kindness towards strangers is a very admirable thing and couchsurfing really supports that.

Although my ability to host is admittedly infrequent, I try to give all guests a welcoming and enjoyable impression of my community.

Interests

I enjoy photography, art, sociology, and anything unconventional. I just quit my job in retail management and I am looking for inspiration in the nonprofit sector.
