Things I love: Riding bikes, making a big pot of spaghetti and homemade meatballs, unexpectedly catching a glimpse of one of Washington state's many snow-capped volcanoes, challenging peoples' perceptions, melt in your mouth sushi, long-distance backpacking, meeting others who love to adventure and adventuring w them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it ridiculous to spend a bunch of money on accommodations when traveling because you're most likely out and about. I love to break free from the usual tourist places. I can show people around or offer suggestions on how to best enjoy my town, Seattle. I would like to meet people when I'm traveling who enjoy the same willingness to share their culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking skills. I love making breakfast just as much as sauteed vegetables and pasta sauce. Share my stories. I have done multiple solo trips: most recently a 2-week trip to Utah and the state's national parks.
