About Me

I'm 6 feet 5 inches tall, 22 years old, and I have been doing nothing but work and school for as long as I can remember. I have recently come to the conclusion that this type of lifestyle (that is the rat race of modern America) is indeed all life will ever be if I don't get out there and explore what there is in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in the state of Washington and have never ventured far. I'm planning a road trip all throughout the western half of the country that will take me down to California and back up to Idaho and then back to Washington state. I plan on traveling to landmarks and monuments as well as exploring new cities and people. I am couch surfing because I will need places to sleep as I travel, which I plan to do in a leisurely fashion. I have packed a tent and will occasionally be staying with family members and at hotels, but I am very interested in expanding my social skills on this trip because I'm a bit of a workaholic and a shut in. I want to meet new people and go on all kinds of new adventures by making new friends and memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all types of music but typically stick to rock and classical rock. I grew up watching thousands of movies and lots of tv. I love the entertainment industry and hopefully can find a career in using my creative personality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't really say I've done too much with my life other than work and educate myself. This is why I am trying to do something amazing, and I think this trip is exactly what I would define as amazing for myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have always been obsessed with trivia and games, my childhood consists mainly of movies, video games, and nature documentaries. I do lots of volunteer work, favors for neighbors and friends, I enjoy helping out for the social benefit of it.
I have worked at fast food restraunts, lumber mills, cereal factories, and have most recently been a flagger for traffic control through road construction where I also had a hand in setting up city events like community races and parades as well as emergencies such as gas or water leaks. I dream of getting into the entertainment industry, whether its acting, directing, voice acting, writing, filming, or even just being a producers assistant. I just love the entertainment industry and I have my whole life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will work for a place to stay on this trip (it would only be one night). If there is some home project that you need some muscle to finish, I can assist. Really I'm just looking to build my own character and make new friends and memories. So anyone willing to have me for a night I would really appreciate the offer.
