I am Evan, a 35 year old working in the healthcare industry and my wife is Sadie, a 30 year old dietician. We have traveled to 28 countries and what we love most about traveling is meeting new people and immersing ourselves in the culture of the area. We do this by enjoying the food, music and walking the streets to see the every day lives of locals. Couch Surfing has greatly enhanced our experiences as we have been able to stay with and meet up with some amazing locals. We also enjoy meeting and hosting travelers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have learned so much from the people I have met traveling. There is nothing more rewarding that learning something new from people with diverse backgrounds. Staying with locals allows me to truly understand the area I am visiting and I hope to share the same experience with visitors to Seattle.

Have surfed in other states and countries. Hosted once so far

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others about conservation and how we can live more sustainably. I want to share my passion for the outdoors so that others can see how important it is to preserve for future generations.

I want to learn as many languages as possible and always try to learn the local language before visiting any country. I would love for hosts to share words, phrases and idioms to expand my learning.
