Hello! My name is Jackie, I am a social worker and I'm very dedicated to my profession. I play guitar and bass, love music of all kinds, rock climb, am into the minimalist lifestyle, and am a coffee and food enthusiast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Headed to Salt Lake for the weekend to get out of town!

Music, Movies, and Books

Thrice, Code Orange, Black Flag, Incendiary, Tom Waits, The Kills, Modest Mouse, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jack White, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Devil Makes Three, Silversun Puckups, Pinback, Nirvana, Boards of Canada, Bonobo, all kinds of music really. I have recently read "Enough" by Patrick Rhone about minimalism that I really enjoyed. All of Oliver Sacks' books were very interesting as well. I like indie and artsy movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working with homeless exoffenders, veterans, and people with disabilities to help get their lives back on track.

Teach, Learn, Share

Intelligent conversation, jamming, and learning Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind, conversation, and a respectful person to other people'a way of life, property, and culture! I can cook and enjoy making food for others.
