My name is Jared and I am a 27 year old guy getting ready to travel for the first time in over 10 years! I'm getting really excited for my travels, I want to meet new awesome people and get to know myself better while I'm at it! I'm learning Spanish right now and would love to practice with native Spanish speakers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love where I live here in Portland Oregon and would love to show it off while hearing travel stories and maybe practicing my Spanish! While I am traveling I think it would be cool to get to know locals and see places from their point of view!
