Hi my name is Jonathan and I am currently working on board a United States Submarine. I just came back from deployment a couple of months ago and am residing in a 500 sqft studio in Suquamish. Its a small space with a big couch. I have tons of backpacking equipment and know about almost all the trails in Olympic National Park which is only an hour from the house. I also have a backyard big enough for a couple large tents if that's what you perfer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know people. I guess that's pretty generic but I've found myself stuck in the usual's of day to day life and meeting new people is one of the first steps in learning new things. So come share your experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of the alternative country scene. So artists like Tyler Childers, Zack Bryan, and Sturgill Simpson are all near and dear to my heart. Across the Universe and O' Brother Where Art Thou are definitely two of my favorite movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly I wouldn't describe anything that I've done so far in my life as amazing. I'm still waiting ont hat big push that sends me on that adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am planning a ten month backpacking trip in South America when I get out of the Navy so I am really hoping to have some real world conversations in Spanish before I get down there. As far as teaching goes most of my skills are mechanical but I'm willing to help with just about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food! I guess that's kind of obvious but I love to cook although I don't claim to be too good at it and would love to provide for the chance of tasting a new dish. Oh and a pretty comfy couch if I do say so myself
