My name is Tom Smith, the most plain name imaginable! I'm from Leeds, which is a northern city in the UK. I'm travelling around the US with a friend who is currently in Philadelphia, I took some time to myself to explore the northwest because of the insane natural beauty you have in this country, as I'm not a huge city guy, especially after a week or so.

My profession is a chef so if I was to be hosted by you, I would repay kindly by cooking for you as working with food not only pays the bills its a passion, food is the key to anyone's heart

This is my first time using Couchsurf! I'm just hoping to find some like-minded people who don't mind having a gentle giant being in their life for a few days! If needed, I can keep myself to myself or if you wanted a beer I'm also down

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and to be truthful, keep costs down

Interests

As mentioned, I am a chef, so being interested in food goes hand in hand.
I play and love golf, and it's great to be outside and play a sport equal parts satisfying and frustrating
I could talk your ear off all day if we got talking about movies! Over a beer?
