I hate doing these things! What can I say? I am a student studying anthropology at The Evergreen State College, a small liberal arts college in Olympia, Washington.

Born and raised at the foot of the Cascade mountains in the rainy Pacific Northwest (think Seattle and flannel). I love to hike, camp, and generally do everything outdoorsy. Pretty easy going guy who enjoys company and am very interested in what others do to get by on this rock we call earth. Any other questions, just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is the spice of life! While a host would be most helpful, I'm just as interested in making new friends and expanding my world. I feel like you can't truly know a place until you get out there and experience it like a local.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I absolutely love to cook! I can make a mean curry and a traditional chai tea that would make all the hairs on the back of your neck stand up in tingly satisfaction. I am also quite partial to pancakes and anything one can slather in maple syrup.

I've done a few years stint as a house cleaner and am a very neat and clean guy my self. If I get bored one day your house my end up cleaner than it was when I got there! Also love to get my hands in some dirt and would be into lending a hand in someone's yard or garden.
