I work for an Alternative radio station in Seattle, 107.7 The End. I host nights, and produce a Dance show on weekends. I also teach and perform classical/flamenco guitar/oud, although I'm a Rocker at heart. I'm slowly chipping away at another degree in Physics, EE. I get out skating and snowboarding when ever I can. I enjoy being a stranger in a strange land. Here's my mixcloud page to get an idea of the dj sets I play: https://www.mixcloud.com/zachvanlue/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and travelers. It's exciting to host weary travelers and inspiring to share stories. And it's comforting to find a place to rest when you're away from home. We hosted many travelers on a house boat in Egypt. The basement studio in Seattle is pretty small. It's difficult to host guests, but not impossible, if you like dogs :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed at a concert at the Pyramids of Giza. I sort of crashed the stage to do it, but you only get one shot at something like that so I didn't hesitate.
