Hello! My name is Daniel. I am an aspiring artist from New Jersey. I am a lover of movies and want to write and direct. I am also a musician and love to play music. I lived in California for about three years, and currently I am traveling the world in an attempt to experience new people, cultures, and lifestyles as I look for my own true purpose and pursue my artistic crafts, as well as personal and spiritual growth. I relish in the opportunity to meet new people, learn about a different way of life, and share my own experiences as I learn about their own. I am very open-minded as well as self-aware, and am able to look at myself objectively which in turn helps me to look at all other things the same way. I trust you will find talking with me easy and comfortable due to the fact that I don’t hold any judgement or negativity towards anybody. My only true aspiration is to make the world a better place, however that may be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, couchsurfing offers an endless well of opportunity. I love to meet new people and form new friendships. I wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for the people in my life to shape me, and I’m always looking for more influence from anywhere I can! I love to be with good people and wax lyrical about the world. Not to mention certain crafts I pursue such as writing or comedy relies heavily on experience and new ideals and opinions and this seems like one of the best ways to increase inspiration to take from.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar, I teach English online, I have an extensive knowledge of film, I am a writer. I have traveled to a few countries in Asia and South America. As with anyone, I have a life of experiences to be shared and with that experience I can help a certain path with any insight or influence that I can benefit somebody with, as I’m sure theirs will benefit mine.

I can share stories, life experience, laughter, a good talk, a newfound friendship. And I’m a sucker for sharing meals.
