I love music, language, food, and people. I love to go out, but also enjoy relaxing at home w/ a couple friends, going on walks, and having good conversations. More than anything, I think the Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful areas in the world, and whenever I can I like to go camping or hiking or climbing.
I love my city, and I love sharing it with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though I have traveled quite a bit, unfortunately most of my extensive traveling was before I discovered couchsurfing. I mostly participate as a host, since I love having a full house and showing new friends around my city. I have also used couchsurfing a number of times for last-minute places to stay, and looking for folks to show me around when I'm out of town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to choose from...
The first thing that comes to mind is getting to go meet my brother's wife's family in Cambodia and participate in their traditional wedding there.

I'm a pretty decent cook, a good adventure buddy, a decent conversationalist, and I have a decent bit of knowledge I can share about spirits and distilling; I can also help you practice your Spanish (while practicing mine).
