Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a condo in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. My place is walking distance to just about everything.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so good! I'm a bit particular about who I host, and I only accept hosts when I have time to devote to them, but if I do host you, you will be well taken care of. I generally need a few days' notice as well.

Interests

I like traveling (naturally), but I also love Seattle. I love running, attending social events, tabletop gaming and going to sporting events.

I work for a major technology company in Seattle. I also have my own nonprofit that raises money for Children's Hospital charities via board gaming.

You probably should like cats if you want to stay with me. I have 2 crazy, silly kitties.

• cats

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been traveling quite a bit the past few years years. I've been to Australia 4 times since 2011. I've been there in the spring, the summer and the winter. All 4 trips were amazing! I've made some great friends down there and can't wait to go back. In addition to traveling to Australia, I went to Beijing, China in May of 2013 for work. Other adventures within the last few of years include seeing the sunrise from the top of Haleakala on Maui (twice), seeing lava flows from Mauna Kea during the eruptions of 2016 and 2018, numerous trips to Philadelphia (I gained at least 5 pounds every time) and plenty of travel up and down the west coast of the USA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a runner, a board gamer, a nerd and a sports enthusiast. Those last two might seem to be opposites, but I've got range. Happy to share any or all of these things with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice, safe place to sleep, as well as a tour of whatever you want to see in Seattle. We'll go to some of the non-touristy places if you want.
