Hello! I'm Ross and I really wanted to travel around the whole world, meet everyone in it, and experience what nobody else experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals and see the world that they do in the places that they live.

I want to have an understanding of as much as possible first hand.

Interests

I have always loved music, breaking through my parents jazz and blues selection, When I discovered Spotify, I have really expanded into many styles of music, but most often I listen to "Midwest emo" stuff, but I don't own any eyeshadow.

I got interested in politics at a really young age too because we covered it in school when I was 8, and kept since.

Counterculture stuff appeals to me and I can't tell you why. I never liked reading until I read "Naked Lunch" when I was 14 and got hooked on this undercover world that I had never seen before - the poetry, art, whole world has intrigued me since.
