Name is Connor. I'm a 24 year old, easy-going guy that has a hard time complaining about anything and I try to enjoy life by not taking anything too seriously and by finding the fun/joy in things. Swimming and being outside are two of my favorite things to do. Meeting new people and getting to know them is a third, and hardly ever will you hear a judging word come out of my mouth. Everyone's on the same path, we're all just trying to find and maintain happiness, so why not do it together?

I made this profile because I'm kicking off a project this summer where I will be traveling throughout all lower 48 states on a motorcycle, writing about and filming everything I find. Once I'm finished traveling, I want to take all I have and create a feature-length film from it, one I hope to share with people. My desire is to seek out and capture the essence of what lies in the heart of America, and the stories of the people who keep that heart beating. My mission is to show anyone that is curious to see what life is like on the other side of the fence, and also to encourage them to follow a dream if they have one.

I'm willing to help out any hosts with anything they're doing or that they need, in exchange for giving me a place to stay. I'm pretty handy and technologically minded, so don't hesitate to ask me to help you build a deck, or erase a virus from your computer. Even if all you really want is for someone to sit and listen to whatever you have to say, my ears are open.

If you're curious about the project I'm creating, including my personal blog and videography, please visit the web-site below!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfer in order to help me meet people across the country that have similar interests and so that I can have a place to crash in some of the bigger cities I'll be going through, though that's not to say I don't want to meet hosts from smaller towns. If you live in any of the following cities then I definitely hope that you consider letting me occupy your house for a night: Chicago, Toronto, Greenbay, Montreal, New York, Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, Denver, that's all I can think of for now! I really want to see these places through the eyes of a local and do some filming, I'd be really grateful if you showed me around your town. I don't want to pass up any opportunities that are presented on this trip, so if that means riding a couple hundred miles out of my way to see a town I've never been to and meet a most generous host, then you can consider me on my way.

I may have made it sound like I'm only interested in staying in cities with that last paragraph, but that's not true. I'm open and wanting to see all parts of this country, so I want to say that I'm willing to accept invitations from anywhere, if I find it reasonable. Thank you in advance.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

A good personal story that usually has some insight behind it, some music they may have never heard, a few good laughs, and a more-than-willing hand to help with absolutely anything they need (with a few exceptions. I.E. it DOESN'T put the lotion on the skin).
