Hi my name is Jake, most people’s reaction to meeting me; this guys kinda weird but I like him! I take pride in being different from others. Most people are too afraid to embarrass themselves to do anything different, screw that! I am currently living in Belgium for 6 months and I making the most of being in Europe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it a badass concept! It’s great that a community of people welcome others into their home when they are in need. I really want to make the most of the short time that I am in Europe and money is always limiting me for traveling. No longer!

I hangout on the side of cliffs for fun, that’s pretty cool right?

Teach, Learn, Share

I lead backpacking trips in the states for the last couple of years for incoming students to university. During this trips I really learned the right questions to get to know someone. I am an open book, I look to get to know someone beyond surface level
