Hello everyone!

My name is Calvin, I am just finishing up my senior year in high school. I work at Plimoth Plantation as a historical character "Giles Hopkins" and I am also their exhibit carpenter. I love the history of cultures and the world. I'm a very passionate woodworker. I like to use older tools and bring back the lost tradition in the world. Whether it is driving old cars, building a house with just a axe. I think its really nice to enjoy life through all the ages of time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to meet new people from all around the world. I would like to travel around the world and see each country's way of woodworking, traditions and culture.

My mission is to take a different approach to learning, I don't want to go sit in a classroom anymore. I believe that the best way to learn, is to learn from the true masters and people that have been perfecting the arts over the years of time.
