Hello, my name is Jake. I'm from Washington state in the US. I enjoy traveling a lot, seeing new places and meeting new friends. Before the Covid 19 pandemic I was traveling nonstop for over a year. Now I'm finally able to travel again.
I like learning about different countries, cultures and experiencing them.

I enjoy spending time in nature and quiet places. I like nature photography and hiking. Cities are nice too sometimes.

Not interested in any type of romantic encounters with anyone. Don't contact me for this at all please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new friends and explore new countries.

I think it's much better to meet and stay with locals rather than staying at hotels.

Interests

My biggest interest is traveling by far. I also am into street and nature photography. I have an Instagram page where I document photos from my different trips.
