Hi! I'm Jason. I grew up in Denver, Colorado, USA. I'm always up for exploring new places. I've traveled to over 20 countries -- I've just scratched the surface of world travel. I haven't seen Africa or Antarctica yet! I'm a real estate broker specializing in new construction and land. I always love to connect with people. Throughout my travels, I have stayed with hosts (from this site and elsewhere) all over the US, in Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Malaysia Singapore, China and the Czech Republic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Rather than checking known places like the Grand Canyon and Great Wall off of my list, I'd rather learn about the daily lives (and food) of people in different cultures around the world. Some of my best memories come from my time in Guatemala away from all English speakers, and from living abroad in Sweden and China. I look forward to meeting you, enjoying life together, and learning together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grew a company (not as a shareholder, unfortunately) from scratch to an international organization with over 1,000 employees in about two years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak fluent English, teach you a bit of Swedish or Spanish.

I can show you how to make sound decisions regarding real estate, and install Linux on your laptop.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I look forward to sharing my travel stories and life experiences.

We can go for a walk together, and I can buy you a nice dinner.

If you'd like a souvenir from my city, that can be arranged.

I'm always happy to reciprocate with hosts!
