Hello, I'm Elliot!
I'm a native FTM Transgender Pacific Northwestern individual who loves all the outdoorsy things. Currently working at seasonal job at Olympic National park and attempting to get into woodworking. I'm also a artist that uses a woodburning pen as my medium. Feel free to check out my Instagram @Wood_N_Bays. I'm trying to get out an travel more around the beautiful West coast to get more inspiration for art. I also would love to meet like minded individuals and this seems like a great platform to do it.

I’m your typical Outdoorsy guys that probably has to much gear yet not enough time. I try to keep it simple with enjoying different levels of hiking, everything to a hard day that rewards a beer to a sketchy scramble that rewards a pitcher of beer. I also enjoy surfing even though I’m terrible. Been wanting to get back into rock climbing and hope to jump on a few boulder this year.

I also love the downtime of completing puzzles or playing card or board games with folks. Gotta appreciate the down times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of Feb 16th I’m heading down south from Washington state to travel through the Southwest! I have about 6 weeks before I start my trails season so why nots see some sights and meet some folks. I’ve been enamored with that part of the country for many years, and as an artist, I look forward to seeing the different colors and perspectives. Would love to meet folks along the way that share that same passion.
