I'm just your average geeky next door guy. Raised on a farm, college educated, working in Information Technology, and living in the beautiful Yakima Valley. I love to make new friends, learn, and to travel. Open to host all races, religions, and LGBQ / gay guests.

Here are travel guides to the Yakima Valley and Nearby White Pass Scenic Byway...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, particularly from different backgrounds, and would rather experience how local's live rather than just hotels and tourist attactions. I love practicing hospitality and showing people around when home.
