I'm a creative professional who has been in the tech and entertainment industries for about 7 years, having worked on software apps, computer animated tv shows, video games, and more! I'm currently taking some time off work to travel and explore the world that we live in, and most recently I've been touring Australia and the Pacific Rim.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have a social journey. I think the best way to see places and create memorable experiences is to get involved with the people that live in those places, and I'm really excited to meet new people and make new friends.

Interests

Art, design, movies, music, games, outdoors-y stuff like: hiking, biking, swimming, tennis, soccer, and ultimate frisbee.

I have an art blog that I try to keep updated: http://ccooperwelch.blogspot.com

I'm also kind of obsessed with the 80s, and I want to learn how to DJ so I can throw down some phat beats! =D

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a ton of music that I like...right now I'm going through a retro synthwave/Italo disco/future funk phase. Anything with a catchy groove really. Here's my SoundCloud page:

Favorite movies are the Back to the Future trilogy, Ghostbusters, and the first Die Hard. I also have a soft spot for 90s comedies, like Wayne's World and Happy Gilmore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to shut down an entire ski lift the first time I ever went snowboarding. That was pretty amazing.
