Hi I'm Jacob.

I'm from central Wisconsin but have been blessed to have experienced life in North Carolina, Oregon, Colorado, and Missouri. I recently returned to moved away from my Midwestern roots and relocated to Memphis, TN. Still desire to experience new places and meet new faces.

I constantly encourage the growth of good in and around you, from the people you interact with, to the natural world we have the privilege of being a part of.

I think all of the other categories below will paint a pretty accurate picture of he who is me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just trying to make the world a better place by offering a rich connection to those guests I host and to the wonderful people who host me. I love exchanging culture and experiences with those I encounter during my travels. I have found that Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to do that.
