For the last year I have been a barista at Morsel, a boutique biscuit & coffee shop near The University of Washington, and living in the Wallingford neighborhood.

Riding bikes above most things. I love being outdoors, I love trees. Musician, reader, writer, critical thinker. I enjoy good beer and good food. I enjoy bad beer and bad food. Meeting new people and having good conversations.

Seattle has a rich DIY music community that I have had the fortune of knowing. Playing in bands and going to shows is a big part of my life.

Here's my rock band

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I graduated high school my good friend Clayton and I biked from Oakland to Yosemite National Park where we spent a month backpacking around the wilderness. I left a part of myself behind in that place, in that trip and experience.

In August I will set out from Seattle by bike to Yosemite. After backpacking there once again I will pedal to the bay, continuing on to LA and San Diego, and then down the Baja Peninsula. With no dates or deadlines in mind, always subject to change and spontaneity.

I aim to use Couch Surfing in cities and places where camping isn't as easy. To use it as a resource to meet new people and make new connections; to travel in a way that is aligned with my values. Grown weary to the consumer life-style of making and spending money in excess, my tent will be my home, frugalness my mahantra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking across town while carrying another bike on my shoulders

What I Can Share with Hosts

Never hesitate to ask me for help with anything! I love cleaning for others, doing yard, and working in gardens. I have a bike that can cary a lot of stuff and I like to bike far: if you need an errand ran or something picked up I'm your guy.

Let's play music let's cook a meal let's go for a bike ride

Countries I’ve Visited
