My name is Anders and I am a full-time Psychology student studying and living in my hometown of Fresno California. I am nearly finished with my BA, and plan on starting my Masters in Fall 2020. I have used Couchsurfing since summer 2016, and made many good friends with it and had tons of great experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at hostels and meeting people from all over the world, but I feel like there is something unique and special about experiencing a city with a local. Being a host to many people this last Spring and this Summer has increased my passion for Couchsurfing and it has made me want to stay with more hosts myself. I believe that Couchsurfers are a different kind of people in the sense that we tend to be more open to new experiences and have a passion for showing our world to others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled over 1,000km (600 miles) to go to an EDM festival in the woods outside a little city in Finland. The energy there was incredible and one DJ, in particular, had the most positive and infectious energy I have ever seen.
I have hiked almost all of Yosemite's day trails, I still have Half Dome on the to do list.
