Hey, I'm Jacob. I like getting outdoors whether it be backpacking, camping, snowboarding, mountain biking, or just taking my dog around. I'm always down for a good meal and love to cook. You're also likely to find me at a brewery enjoying cervezas. Otherwise, I'm probably at home enjoying a cup of coffee with a good book or listening to music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing their unique perspectives. I have the travel bug but usually don't have the budget to match so saving a few bucks on lodging with the plus side of hanging out with locals is the way to go.
