Well, this is my chance to convince you that I'm a real person, I suppose. I've lived in this town my entire life, but been around the country a bit. I absolutely love meeting new people, and finding new places.

I realize that my hometown is more of a pit stop than a tourist destination, but it's right on I-80, and I'm open to guests whenever.

I enjoy playing/writing music, photography, and tech stuff galore - I also enjoy conversations that are interesting. That's me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm at the time of life when I'm finally not afraid to meet new people (in fact, I love it). Also, I really enjoy traveling, and the biggest setback to actually doing that is accommodations - not to mention traveling alone is a little more boring and lonely. I also find great joy in hosting people.

Interests

I'm a bit of a computer nerd as well... I love playing and writing music, and most of my work is from my photography business ( www.benjamincolesander.com ). I work two mornings a week waiting tables at a local restaurant, and am also taking classes at a local community college.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning the ins and outs of new places, and I love teaching technological stuffs. I'm a fairly outgoing person - I don't shy away from conversation easily.

What I Can Share with Hosts

MUSIC! I write a lot of instrumental music, and have been playing piano and guitar for quite some time. I do a bit of singing as well. I know this is something a ton of people will say - if you want a sample, this link is to a song I've recently written: https://youtu.be/_0fVlFm3WT4
