My name is Dale and I am 23. I love being creative whether it be through writing, art, music, etc. Even though I may not be great at any of those things, that is how I enjoy spending my time. It's always been a dream of mine to see the world. I grew up, for a time, living abroad in South East Asia and ever since then have just wanted to see more of the world. After graduating last May, I found I couldn't really commit to a career path or graduate school until I had traveled, at least a little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the perfect time in my life to travel and see more of the world. I like the idea of staying with locals and getting an inside look into the places that we'll be traveling too. I'd love to start hosting people, once I have found a place to plant my feet as well. But for now, I want to see everything!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most kinds of music. Any music that has great lyrics or just a story I can relate to in some way. My favorite band is the Avett Brothers but I am undeniably a huge Taylor Swift fan.
Going to the movies is one of my favorite activities. My favorite movie is Notting Hill. I really love all the Marvel movies, Star Wars, musicals, The Breakfast Club, Woody Allen movies, anything with Seth Rogan, pretty much all movies, I'm into.
I'm a Jane Austen girl. I'm also into John Green these days. My favorite two books I have read recently are Dept Of Speculation by Jenny Offill and Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder.
