CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel this beautiful world and meet the wonderful people in it. Be it going to a museum, going to a pub, or just having good conversation I am excited to be apart of it all.

ABOUT ME
I am Chaundel Anderson (Cj for short). I am extremely outgoing and love to meet new friends. I have lived in the United States for my entire life and besides a month long backpacking trip to Italy, I am still pretty new to traveling. I am 100% open to trying new things and throwing myself into a culture in order to learn all I possibly can and immerse myself.
PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a traveler. I don't just see this as a free hostel or free place to stay I see it as a social network to meet new people and learn new culture. I see this as a way to experience all that life offers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a completely new member of CS and also new to travelling in general. But I realize I cant spend my entire life in my home town. I am an explorer and I need to see the world.

Interests

Some of my main interests are kind of cliche but my biggest one is Music. I see music as a way of learning so much about a person by just listening to the kind of music that moves them. I am also into spoken word poetry, I have been a poet for a few years now and have embraced it as an incredible art form.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy action, thriller, and comedy movies. As for books I'm into fiction novels and History books (mostly art history), but one book that has had the biggest influence in my life is "The Alchemist"- Paulo Coelho. Music is everything to me, I am open to all music because I believe music is an extension of our true selves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in a Social Justice Theatre group that toured around parts of the United States performing for high school and college students. In this theatre group we tackled issues that were controversial in our world. Things such as gay rights, women's rights, parental abandonment, and the deterioration of our society. We travelled and got to see the magnificent changes in human beings when these issues were brought to light.

Teach, Learn, Share

Something I would love to share is the music I enjoy listening to. I think everyone should be open to music. I would love to learn more about art history and the cultures behind so many countries. I would love to learn about peoples lives and how different they were from my own.

Hello hosts, I cant tell you what I can share with you, that is something I want to experience together as potential friends.
