Hi, my name is Austin, and I love to see the world. I only realized this last year, when I traveled for the first time to Hawaii with a friend of mine.

The places I saw, things I learned, and people I met had at an amazing impact on my outlook on life and the world we live in. It's helped me be more willing to go out of my comfort zone, take chances, and live my life to the fullest :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see as much of the world as I can, and take advantage of any opportunity given to me.

Growing up, I always thought travelling required a lot of money, which always dissuaded me from ever planning any trips. I've slowly come to realize that isn't necessarily true, and couchsurfing is a good way to prove to any disbelievers that they're capable of traveling on a pretty low budget.

Interests

I love to learn about new things or try things i've never done before. My friends and I make YouTube videos as a hobby, so i'm very interested in all aspects of films (including watching them :D). I love nature and have a lot of appreciation and respect for anything that's alive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can appreciate mostly any kind of music and movies. I can't possibly have favorites, I like a lot of songs for a lot of different reasons. I haven't read many books, but I do spend a lot of time reading things on the internet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides my friendliness, I can share my life stories and perspectives on a lot of different topics. I'm willing to share practically anything you'd like to know - I consider myself an open book.

Since my friends and I are filmmakers, I can also show you my horrible acting or what kinds of travels I've had that we recorded.
