Yo! I’m Thomas — part-time Rave Panda, full-time good-vibes enthusiast. I’m based about 20 min from Salt Lake City but you’ll rarely catch me sitting still. I’m usually off hiking, backpacking, chasing EDM shows, or plotting the next adventure that probably involves a questionable roadside diner and a sketchy gas station at 2 AM.

What do I bring?
✔ A solid high-five
✔ Good stories (some true, some… enhanced for dramatic effect)
✔ Respect for your space and your couch
✔ A willingness to wash dishes, share snacks, and not steal your blanket

Into:
🎧 Losing myself in music festivals and random DJ sets
🥾 Backpacking until my legs are spaghetti
🌮 Discovering the best tacos wherever I land
🎲 Saying yes to random, last-minute plans

Why Couchsurfing?
Because hotels are boring, strangers are just friends I haven’t met yet, and life’s way better when you share it with cool humans!

Interests

🌟 My Interests

🎶 Music & Festivals — EDM is my happy place. I’m always chasing that perfect drop, dancing like a goof, and vibing at shows big or small.

🥾 Backpacking & Hiking — Give me a trail, a tent, and a sky full of stars — I’m in. The higher the mountain, the better the coffee tastes in the morning.

☕ Coffee — Big fan of strong coffee, lazy mornings with good conversation, and finding the best local roasts wherever I go.

🚗 Road Trips — I’m always up for a spontaneous drive, especially if it ends at a weird landmark, a food truck, or a hidden campsite.

🌮 Food Hunts — Tacos, street food, and hole-in-the-wall spots > fancy restaurants every time.

🗺 Leftist politics & good causes — I care about community, fairness, and trying to leave the world a little better (or at least less messed up). Always down for thoughtful conversation, mutual aid, and sharing ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked into the wilds of the Uintah Mountains with a 50-pound pack, camped under the stars, and woke up to a sunrise that made me forget how much my legs hated me. Totally worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can share what I know about leftist ideas, mutual aid, community-building, and how to spot bullshit in the news. I’m always down to talk about how to organize, support good causes, or just navigate the world with more empathy. Also: how to find the best street food and brew a decent cup of coffee

Learn:
I want to learn about your culture, your views, your favorite local spots — and how you see the world. I’m always curious about different ways people make change in their communities (and any secret family recipes you’re willing to share).

Share:
Respect, kindness, good conversations, snacks, coffee, playlists, and a belief that we can all look out for each other. I’ll gladly help out however I can — cooking, cleaning, or just bringing good energy to your space.

What I Can Share with Hosts

✅ Good conversation — from deep life chats to ridiculous stories that probably involve getting lost somewhere fun
✅ A positive vibe — I’m easygoing, clean, and always happy to help out around the house
✅ Music recs — especially if you’re curious about EDM, I’ve got playlists for every mood
✅ Snacks (I always pack extra!) and maybe even a round of your local beer on me
✅ Meals- I truly believe in slowing down and putting away our phones and connecting over a meal

And honestly — I’m just here to be a kind, respectful guest and contribute to a good experience!
