Hey! I'm Jacob. I'm living in Seattle enjoying the scene. Currently, I live at and help run a meditation space. I am just out here trying to spread some light!!

I love hiking, writing, playing music, cooking, eating, and drinking tea. If I host you, or you host me - we should probably drink tea ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel - and the nature of my living is that sometimes I am in between spaces and want to meet new people in the area I am staying. I also want to host and meet interesting folks who cross paths along their journey.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love funk, jazz and some nice dreamy tunes.

2001: A space oddessy is a film that has kept me thinking.

Big fan of the beat poets, German writers like Hesse, and mid-1800's American lit. Anything that will make me think about things I've never thought of - I'm down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a Chinese monastery.

Teach, Learn, Share

A short poem -
“The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating"
Lu Yu

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good discussion, good tea, a song or two - laughs, stories, a shoulder to cry on. Whatever the moment needs, really.
