HEY IM JAKE, I'm a big explorer that loves to get lost among the beautiful mess of life. Good open-minded conversation is a requirement and judgement free friendships are guaranteed from me. Also I'm a professional photographer, check out my website jakekinchen.com. Finishing my last year of Computer Science in my uni, can't wait to get out into the world and implement ideas into reality. I LOVE talking about technology, consciousness, linguistics, and the future. Visual art and drone piloting are two of my favorite side hobbies and I am a very inquisitive person, so be prepared to answer questions!! I love learning about culture and history and how it relates to us today, also I will literally cook for you if you give me ingredients, I pride myself in being a culinary enthusiast 100%.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to have a genuine fun time, converse, learn about culture and life, and what different societies can teach me. I can bring board games and alcohol if need be! I actually prefer edibles to alcohol but the latter is more socially acceptable so that's generally what ends up transpiring. Cultural exchange is a requirement, TEACH ME THINGS!!
