Hi everyone! My name is Ethan, I'm 20 years old and I'm going to be traveling around Europe this summer. I grew up in Seattle, Washington, and currently go to university in California. I am studying Environmental Sciences, and believe that we should do everything in our power to help preserve the beautiful earth for future generations. I love football, music, and a great conversation with some music. Feel free to message me to get to know me more! I'm a very open person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is perfect for me as I'm looking forward to meeting people from different cultures while also saving a bit of money. I'm a very clean, respectful, and easy going guy, and would love to get to know you through drinks or a meal :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I love all kinds of music, and am very open to listening to new music. I love Mumford and Sons at the moment, as I just saw them in concert.

Movies - Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, and Studio Ghibli Movies (Japanese Anime) are favorites of mine.

Books - Tuesdays with Morrie is my favorite book, but the Harry Potter series are a close second.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lead backpacking trips all around California (including Yosemite and through the Redwoods) to other students from my university. I think this is an amazing thing because most of the time I'm introducing other people to backpacking, hiking, or just being in nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I can teach you how to touch your toes, regardless how flexible you are.

Learn - I have so much to learn. I'm only 20.

Share - I'd love to share my stories, and would love to hear yours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a variety of amazing stories from my time traveling around various places, such as Cuba and Turkey. In addition, I would be more than willing to pick up the bar tab if we went to get drinks, and will always be respectful and considerate of your house and living accommodations.
