Hey there!
I'm sure I'm going to repeat myself a bit in the various about me sections but here we go. I'm a graphic designer but a travel enthusiast. I've traveled outside the US a few times and many times inside. Since I'm currently contracted at a job in the Twin Cities, and can't go hostel hopping and meet travelers this way, this is my way of both meeting new travelers and giving back to that particular community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said in my about me, currently I'm unable to travel extensively. That said, meeting travelers is always great. I love hearing the stories that travelers have to share.

Interests

Art design and film are major influences for me. Other than that, hiking, creating anything with my hands, and board games are at the top of the board.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd say this fits to the question above as well but much better here. I run a blog called "No Object". I go around with a GoPro and do short interviews asking people "If money was no object, what would you do with your life?" It's absolutely inspired by Humans of New York. The stories and passions people have shared with this have been fantastic. The blog is still in its infancy, but it's slowly coming along. That said, if you want to check it out, it's on Facebook and Tumblr.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Other than a warm couch for the night, I'm always happy to cook for and show people around the cities.
