CURRENT MISSION

Living life and making others laugh while doing so

ABOUT ME

Well well, what do you want to know? The past 4 years have been the best of my life, hands down. I fish the Bering sea for her seafood bounty six months a year. On my off time I explore my new home, Seattle, or travel abroad. Love good music and great food, making and hearing people laugh are a must in my life. While I can be quiet and contemplative at times, you will find me with a smile and an ear for a story. I may occasionally not be able to keep my mouth shut as well just depends on the day.I have made life long friends everytime I have traveled and hope to continue so

PHILOSOPHY

It's cliche to say live life to the fullest, it hard to do all the time. But you never know when that last breath is coming. Why pretend, why waste hours behind a tv screen? Why not start that conversation with a stranger(well, using good judgement of course)?I wasted a good 4-5 years not pursing what was in my heart so I could attempt a normal career life, getting back on the road was the best idea and kicked me out of my catatonic state. I saw something better and decided to go for it, and made it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help when I can, ride share, bbqs.I moved out of my house cuz I'm never there else id be hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a little although not from this site. Best way to travel, the people we meet along our path tend to shape us if we are aware of it or not. Someone with kindness and patience to show a visitor a great time during their visit beats staying at a hotel. In holland the only good food I ate was with friends at their home!

Interests

Haaaaha laughing, loving, comedy! I backpack and camp more than the average guy, I usually have the summers completely off in Seattle so camping on the coast as much as I can. Kayaking, climbing, but not extremely avid in those areas. Traveling and exploring the NW States, going to shows, meeting new people! I read alot, sometimes write as well
