Hi I'm Blake from Houston, Texas. I have been using couchsurfing since 2010 when I manned up and went on my first Eurotrip. Since my buddy was well experienced with couchsurfing I never made an account until now. I only recently made an account because I am currently 4 months in to another backpacking adventure except this time in SE Asia and maybe eventually back to Europe.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm on couchsurfing because I feel a bit too old for hostels now. They are always placed in the party scene where alcohol, overpriced non-local food and travel agencies dominate.

I've hosted before while I lived in New York City and it was amazing fun to finally pay the generosity forward to backpackers in my country.

I love couchsurfing because it really allows insight on the country I am visiting. Also the people are always so interesting, friendly and love showing me off to their friends where the network of help and friendship continues.

Interessen

Besides traveling I love sports, reading, watching HBO and math oddly. Not that I do math during my free time but I am the person my friends come to for exchange rates. Dork, I know. It will not look like it now but I love working out whether that be actual weights or hiking.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

The music I listen to ranges from slow sad Jewel to ASAP Rocky. You like it, I love it.

Books: Game of Thrones all day.

Movies: this is a contentious topic so I'd rather not delve into it but Godfather is always great....I know what an easy way out.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Bought a motorcycle and rode through Vietnam.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

If you dream it, do it.

The End.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Openness. I am more than willing to accept others culture but this trip is more than accepting it is about being apart of that culture.
