You can read the old references if you like.

Please include a personal reason why you want to stay with me. I am a public school teacher and conserving energy is important.

I am ostensibly from the Midwest but I've lived all over the West Coast in addition to Kodiak, Tokyo, Ubud, and Seoul in the past 10 years, but Seattle is my chosen home. I fit in here, and I am an expert on all things local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to keep the OG couchsurfing spirit alive- celebrating cultural diversity and transmission. It's all about connecting with our shared humanity and hospitality. Do good, be good.

If you like educational, local experiences, I will talk to you like a young scholar about the significance of everything.
