Hello there! My name is Artin and I just graduated college May of 2015. I'm really into music, predominantly 90's hip hop, classical, and jazz and I also make music on the side and rap, but only when my mind is working and I can think up some rhymes.

I don't travel much, but when I do I'm looking to explore the art a city has to offer, the restaurants and bars, and the music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I may be moving to a new city due to a job opportunity and need a place to stay for a little while while I get settled and find a place of my own.

Interests
