My name is Matt. I'm a 24 year old from Seattle, Washington. For the past 8 months I've lived on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii. I love the outdoors, meeting new people and exploring new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, make new friends and expose myself to viewpoints and situations which I otherwise would not encounter. Having worked at a hotel for the last 8 months, I know the traditional tourist experience offers a superficial glance into local culture. I'm hoping to delve deeper.
