ABOUT ME

I live in Seattle and love where I'm from! I enjoy the outdoors, as well as nights out! I own a restaurant back home and I'm trying to manage it remotely so I can travel. I feel extremely lucky and grateful having the opportunity to travel and want to make the most of every experience. Sooooo help a brother out! :)

Pros
Easy Going, Recent College Grad (Go Dawgs), Adventurist, Business-minded and Fun-oriented

Cons
For a restaurant owner I'm a terrible cook, and I'm consistently late.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Want to build my profile, network and friendships for traveling/backpacking Europe and South East Asia in 2014.

Host my first Couchsurfers, a friend I met while traveling in Belgium and his friend from France. Had a great time showing them the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have only heard good thing and had a friend tell me. "James couchsurfing is meant for you."

Music, Movies, and Books

Really don't have much time for movies, but I love getting the chance to relax and enjoy one. I'm with music 24/7 and I got a masters degree, but I honestly didn't read very many books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started my first restaurant at 20 years old, graduated with my Masters in Social Work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love where I'm from and where I've been able to travel. Sharing stories and adventures. I'm a good sensei for snowboarding. I have a good knack for business, but I'm passionate about helping others and living freely.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to eat! but I can't cook yet! So let's go to your family restaurant and I'll pay! I also travel with tarot card, let me practice reading your fortunes ;p
