Hi! My name is Jason. I'm from the US (New Jersey, but now live in California). I'm traveling the world, and hoping to meet wonderful people of different cultures and backgrounds along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to meet cool people around the world.

Interests

I'm an avid trekker. Over the past few years, I have hiked over 4000km (2500mi) in the US, Central America, and South America. Besides spending time outdoors, I love exploring new urban environments - I lived for 1.5 years in New York City and 2 years in San Francisco.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and watching science fiction. My favorites are the Foundation Trilogy and Dune (the books and movie). I listen to lots of different genres of music, but am mostly listening to electronic (house, techno) at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Milky Way in the beautiful mountains of Patagonia!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help practice English, as well as teach backcountry trekking skills!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you to practice English, learn about American culture, and I can offer travel advice about lots of different parts of the world (I've spent 18 months exclusively traveling).
