Hi I am Jason. I am from Queens, NY. By trade I work in the trades no pun intended. I am kind of mellow/low key, down to earth. I like to travel and got my start here on CouchSurfing in 2012 and 2013 during coast to coast and back to the same coast motorcycle adventures. More recently I have been long distance hiking; PCT Washington State and California, New Zealand hiking. This summer 2020 I want to thru hike the Colorado Trail. I am easy to host and easy to get along with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Reprieve from freezing cold nights, the elements, altitude and aches and pains once every few hundred miles of hiking. I love Couch Surfing, meeting my hosts, becoming friends with them, learning about the area from them to gain clarity of directions to travel.

Interests

Anything sustainable, long distance traveling regardless of the method of locomotion, history, philosophy, non aggression principal, natural law.
