Hello,

My name is Colin Quinn, and I am going to be in both Seattle and Vancouver this upcoming June, I would love to meet like minded people, and am excited to be out in the western part of the USA for the first time in my life.

The purpose of my trip is to visit two schools, Bastyr and Boucher, which or in Seattle and Vancouver, respectively. I am a very health conscious person, with MANY hobbies and interests, and would love to meet many other like minded people like me.

Instead of staying in an overpriced hotel alone, why not just stay with a group of people for a fraction of the price? I will be in Seattle from Friday, June 9th until Monday, June 12th. Then I will be in Vancouver from Tuesday, June 13th until the morning of Thursday, June 15th. Also, I will need a place to stay in Seattle again for the night on Thursday, June 15th, as my flight is the following Friday.

I am also an ardent traveler, as I have been to Peru, Mexico, Thailand, Burma, and Turkey. So, if you are interested in going to those places, let me know, as I can give you some pointers on traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to save money on hotels, and also meet like minded people in an area that I hope to live in someday. I'm and easy going and nice guy, so there is no risk with taking me in. I would be glad to help out with anything that you may need help with.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of political, historical, and natural health related books. There are much too many to list on this site, as I have read over 250 books in the last 4 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran a marathon in under 4 hours, and I also worked on an organic farm in Ranong, Thailand for a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about natural health, and am a steward of the environment. All things organic really impress upon me, and I love to share all of my information with those who are willing to learn. Also, I am willing to share advice on the life experiences I have had, and or anything else I am interested in. All I require is clean food and a positive place to stay, the rest should take care of itself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have experience with gardening/farming, bee keeping, making maple syrup, martial arts, health education, landscaping, tree work, volunteer work (habitat for humanity), many different types of athletic pursuits, and am great at pulling my weight when it comes to chores :). I would be happy to do whatever you ask me to do.
