My name is Spencer and I'm from Northern California. I'm laid back, easygoing, and I love to learn new things.

This year will be my first year travelling solo and I'm really looking forward to the experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing to see new places and to meet and live among new people. I would rather hang out with locals who I can learn from and share something with rather than a boring hotel with a private room.

Interests

I enjoy learning new languages, piano, guitar, music, backpacking, photography, art, philosophy, and literature. I'm pretty below-mediocre at guitar, but I like it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been reading a lot of Haruki Murakami lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once flew a single-engine airplane over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (with an instructor).

Besides that I've backpacked all over the Sierra Nevada mountain range over the years (each trip was so amazing that I couldn't just pick one amazing thing).

Teach, Learn, Share

What we do today is what matters most. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, cooking, music, laughter.
