Hi, I'm Jeremiah and I am currently taking a break from school and hectic Southern-California. I will be working on my thesis over the next several months and will be traveling around and tutoring and teaching where I can, sight-seeing and exploring whenever I can.

My first port-of-call is Portland, and I'd like to get to know the city and see if it will be a good fit for future residence.

Let me know if you have any questions, or you just want to talk about your favorite books!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll need to save as much money as possible as a travel around the country, as I imagine work will be here-and-there.

I also am very social and want to get to know folks in each place that I visit, and get to know the real people in a city or town, rather than the cookie-cutter tourist experience.

Interests

Books, poetry, art, music, craft beers, life stories, and hiking/backpacking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie Rock-and-Roll, Classics, Classical, some Electronic. Anything with a good beat that isn't top-40 sterile hogwash that makes my ears bleed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my early twenties, I took a train across the country!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught writing courses and am an English grad student. I also am conversational (barely) in French, and trying to pick up Spanish (poorly) as I go!

What I Can Share with Hosts

New to the country? Learning English? I have taught or tutored ESL, and basic writing for the last 5 years.

OR...

Ever wanted to go on a writing retreat or get serious sharing sharing your work? If we hit it off, we could be just the encouragement each other needs!
