About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just trying to find my own version of paradise while meeting some noteworthy folks along the way.

ABOUT ME

I just moved to the Pacific Northwest from the East Coast. I got a job working with an environmental cleanup at a nearby Indian reservation. I am really excited about exploring the beauty and new adventures that this area has to offer. Just learned what geoducks and potlatches are.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations, and small needs.

live everyday likes its your last.

"worrying is like a rocking chair. it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." -van wilder

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to explore as many new places as possible now that I am on the left coast as well as host people who are interested in exploring the beauty of this area. I live walking distance to the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry which drops you off in the heart of downtown Seattle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people who have lived lives completely different from my own or have lived in extreme environments. For example, someone I work with now lived off subsistence hunting in a village 70 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Alaska which I think is cool as shit. However, usually I'm down to hang with people who are funny, have a good story to tell and treat others with respect.
