Im from small town USA, have been living in Seattle for the last 6 years. I'm traveling the world this year. I want to meet/make new friends, and experience cultures from around our amazing planet. I'm not up for extravagance or luxury, but I do believe my money is best spent on experiences rather than objects. Most importantly I want to eat/learn to cook new foods, surf new breaks, climb all the things! I'm dragging a 70m rope and plenty of quickdraws with me (plus other essentials). Let me know if you're interested in a bit of sport climbing or bouldering.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Bars
Fluent in English
Learning Japanese
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've had couchsurfers stay with me before, though not through an official account, and I love meeting new people and showing them around. I love the idea of being a part of a community that provides that kind of experience to travelers and residents. As a house guest I'm very polite, clean, and respectful. Would be up for as much or as little socializing as you are.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
For the last 2 years I've been a part of a clinical research team that participated in clinical trials for drugs that cure Hep C. Really amazing memories and learnings from this experience..
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some very basic Korean and Japanese. Also, cooking!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Stories, food, drink, socialization. If you are a climber, I'm happy to share gear and time teaching in exchange for tips on local areas, as well as myself as a climbing/hiking partner..
My Interests
I love climbing, hiking, and surfing. I don't like to stop moving. I'm budding as a mountaineer and eager to learn more. I love being outside, and am always trying to push my limits.. :)
