Hello Couchsurfing community!
Being a new member to this community let me tell a little about myself.
I am a film student, fitness trainer, farmer, youtuber, and more recently international traveler.
Starting in the spring of 2017, I sold almost everything I owned in my small home in California and left the United States for the first time in my life to travel abroad in India.
After spending a few months there I decided that I wanted to transition my lifestyle and career to do more of what I love most; traveling abroad, experiencing new cultures, and meeting new people.
I now teach English language online, work at film festivals, and travel as much as I possibly can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now living the lifestyle of a minimalist, traveler, I seek to meet as many people that I can, at home and abroad. My greatest experiences in life have been the friendships I've formed while traveling. I'll take that over hotel pools and continental breakfast any day.
I want to visit several continents over the next few years so I think it's best to couch surf and meet new friends. I do not usually do the touristic sightseeing activities while traveling as I enjoy more to blend in with the locals. Think this is a great site to do so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very respectful of my own place, so I would extend that respect to yours. I'm very neat and tidy, so I wouldn't unpack and explode all over your place. And to the best of my knowledge, I don't snore.
