Hello! I am a recent college graduate from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham inspired my love for the outdoors, and doing things out of my comfort zone. So currently I am preparing to pursue a temporary life of travel and adventure! My rough itinerary is New Zealand, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.

Back home I am part of a band, where I sing and play viola, mandolin, tenor guitar and ukulele! I am a proud season ticket holder for the Seattle Sounders, our soccer team. Any other free time I have is usually spent exploring the outdoors, going to concerts, and all-around having fun with friends! I'm an easy-going guy with a love for meeting new people and gaining experience in any way shape or form!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I return from travel, it is my intent to get my own place somewhere in the Seattle area. Especially with rising prices for just about everything in Seattle these days, I would love to host travelers coming through this beautiful area!

Until that time comes, I would love to meet new people, couch surf, and experience the culture of all of the countries I will be traveling through between November and March!

Music, Movies, and Books

There aren't many types of music that I don't like! I spend a lot of time hunting for new music, and I'm always listening to something new! Some current favorite artists that have really inspired my own style of music include: Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Quinn XCII, Francis and the Lights, M83, Galantis, The Chainsmokers, Porter Robinson, Madeon, Big Gigantic, Coleman Hell, Chet Porter, Kygo, RAC, Jon Bellion, Coldplay, alt-J, and Seven Lions. I'm always down to give music suggestions to people looking for something new!

I pretty much speak in movie quotes with my closest friends! I can never remember all of my favorite movies when it matters the most. What I do remember a lot better are TV shows that i've been binging. Those include: Westworld, Game of Thrones, Firefly, Scrubs, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Galavant, Futurama, Black Mirror, Luke Cage, Parks and Rec, The Office, Breaking Bad, and more! Some movies off the top of my head include: Big Fish, Zombieland, Hot Fuzz, 21 Jump Street, Inglorious Basterds, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight, the Austin Powers movies, Blazing Saddles, and many many more!

I've just recently revived my love of reading. I'm going to get through all of the Harry Potter books for the first time since my mother read them to my sister and I way back when they all were still coming out:) after that, who knows what I'll find!
