ABOUT ME

My name is Mike. I'm a chill 27 year old that has lived in Washington State for most of my life. I'm an aspiring filmmaker, writer, musician, and currently work for a certified Organic/Vegan cafe. I also do work for one of my favorite companies as an independent consultant. :D

My family was way into road trips. I took this philosophy into my own when I hit adulthood and completed a 10k road trip in which I lived in my fully modified megavan of awesome for 6 months. It was a fantastic time in which I filmed over 600+ film clips and have written over 60k words recalling the trip. It was life changing, and I was bitten by the travel bug.

Every year I travel out into the middle of the desert in Utah for an annual week long camping trip in harsh desert environments. It's my reset button from society. :) Love it.

I have hopes and dreams to backpack across Europe, hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, and sometimes I just like to take the scenic route on my way home.

Note: The reason I have responded to 50% of requests is due to not having this account active for a while. Today's date is July 25th, 2012: and I'm ready for couch surfers!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all in this together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted up my couch to plenty a traveling soul that I have met outside of couchsurfing. I hope to be able to soon be able to provide a couch for a fellow traveler soon but I am currently replanting my roots on the West Coast. :D
