Im Jake. I graduated from the University of Utah last year and currently work for an airline so Im super mobile, which is great for an aspiring documentary filmmaker. I love stories, people, food, high-adventure adrenaline stuff, and the outdoors. I really want to learn how to surf. Hope to meet lots of cool people - come stay at my place in Salt Lake City for the Sundance Film Festival in January or anytime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather meet locals and get the inside scoop on places, things to do, etc. But lets be honest - its also cheap. I work for an airline.
