Hi there!

My name is Kevin from Seattle, but currently reside in Portland, OR. I like going walks and good conversations accompanied by a glass of wine or whiskey. I am someone who enjoys the outdoors, traveling (domestically and internationally) and striving to live more mindfully.

Along with being terrible at describing myself to make me seem authentic, I reciprocate well with sarcasm and dry humor. Given the opportunity, I'm always ready for a good pun.

I'm still rather new with Couchsurfing, but the 3 occasions I've participated have been terrific; meeting new and interesting people.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I Couchsurf because I believe it is the most authentic way to experience your new surroundings. Meeting locals and building new friendships is the foundation of any true traveling experience. Hopefully when I am more settled, I will have the opportunity to host travelers myself and offer the same hospitality I have been shown thus far.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I quit my job several years ago as engineer because I realized working 8-5, Monday thru Friday wasn't making me happy or life fulfilling. That resignation has lead me to so many firsts including:
- My first solo road trip
- My first backpacking trip across Europe
- My first time hitch hiking
- My first couchsurfing experience (which was awesome!)
- My first cross country road trip

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

With my running background, I've been able to coach some of my friends into finishing their first 5Ks and half marathons. So I can offer you some good running tips in that regards or just a good cheerleader.
Perhaps you like to learn Chinese (Cantonese) or English, we can help each other learn a new language.
