I am originally from Iowa, and for the past few years have been living out in the Pacific Northwest in Seattle. i absolutely love the northwest. There is such amazing geography that I never thought I would be living near. By trade I reside somewhere in the realm of a builder, working in carpenter, architecture, and art, I am always happy to be a part of something in the making. In free time I enjoy all of the usual things a person would expect from someone from Seattle (hiking, climbing, drinking beer, music, and art).

I am an overall easy going person and can get along with everyone. I love to try new things and often like the uncomfortableness that can occasionally occur when you do something new. I enjoy these new things because you never know what you might be passionate about and it is always better to explore any and all possibilities to increase happiness. I can really enjoy spending the day reading or talking over coffee and wine or even going out to the bars until dawn arises.

That being said I am making my East towards Garden City, UT where I will be meeting up with my family who is driving out from Iowa, and am currently looking for a place to stay for a night in Salt Lake City.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like I can get a better experience of the places I visit when I can experience it with people.
