Hi, my name is Jason and 2 years ago I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. So much so that I moved out to Portland to pursue my master's at Oregon Health and Science. I love hiking, camping, and in general just exploring/experiencing new places.

I'm pretty outgoing I hope. I enjoy a good conversation and I love to learn and experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A good friend of mine recommended couchsurfing to me. I'm going to wing-it down hwy 101/1 through SF and LA and would love to meet friendly folks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hum, I don't know. Everyone has amazing tales!

But..hm. I spent 2.5 weeks camping on Kauai in their State parks. I spent 5 of those days hiking/camping to Kalalau Beach (I'll tell you all about it).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my stories on my camping trip on Kauai, HI or during my cross country roadtrip/move to Portland. Or if you want to hear me drone on about biomedical science, bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, or what have you...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope I can share my experiences and stories with you. I would love to listen to yours.

Or maybe we can exchange recipes, dream vacations, or local spots.
