Hi! I'm Tristinn, and Seattle has been my home for the last 10 years. I work in Admissions at a local university and teach Academic English to international students on the side. During my weekends I love exploring Seattle or the surrounding natural areas.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Travel. Food. Friends. Newness. Language. Couchsurfing is just such a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and share all the fun pieces of culture. It's really quite a lot of fun.

Couchsurfing also gives people an opportunity to practice trusting others; people aren't as bad as the news says they are.

Centres d'intérêt

Hmm, I love learning, so I have quite a few interests! At the moment, I'm enjoying a lot of yoga, jogging, social justice learning, and Japanese. I'm also really into tea at the moment, so I will definitely share a cup with you when you visit.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I've explored a lot of what the Seattle area has to offer, so I would be happy to make recommendations so that you can make the most out of your time in Seattle. If I've got the time, I'm more than happy to drive CS around Seattle, or up for a hike in the mountain.

Always happy to share in language exchange as well.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

My favorite part of couchsurfing is the culture exchange - so, whether that's food from the US, English practice, or American culture, I'm more than happy to share with hosts.
