Hello! My name is Daryl Love. I currently live in Fort Collins, Colorado where I am a barista and free-lance photographer. I have lived in Colorado for 5 years. I was raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I grew up taking private lessons for piano, competitively swimming and running, playing a ton of video games, and trying to convince my mom that college is not for me. I attended college for two years and then dropped out. I moved to Colorado to start over and here I am. Last year, when I was 25, I traveled outside of the United States for the first time to Argentina. It was for photography and it completely changed my life. The rush of experiencing a new culture is unimaginable and I am now hooked to the feeling. I enjoy meeting new people, cameras, listening to live music, art of all forms, film cameras, dancing, festivals, camping, hiking, more cameras, and the anything that keeps me active.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I began telling people how I wanted to travel more immediately upon returning from South America. Most people recommended I checked out Couchsurfing. Upon further research, it does seem like a better option to hostels and hotels. I do love meeting other travelers but couchsurfing provides direct connection with locals and natives. I want to experience the culture and lifestyle of people who live in the cities I am visiting. While I do plan on staying in a hostel or two, I thought this would be a great option if the opportunities present themselves!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I. Love. Music. I am not biased when it comes to music. I love Jazz, Acoustic Indie, R&B, Hip-Hop, and anything I can dance to. I have not read many books lately. I mostly read blogs or anything related to photography. Movies is easy. Harry Potter, James Bond, and anything sci-fi are my go to choices!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I dropped out of college, moved everything to my mom's house in Tennessee, then packed a suitcase and bought a one-way ticket to Colorado. I had never visited Colorado, nor had any plans for when I arrived. I slept on a friend of a friend's couch for two weeks. The new start was everything I needed and damn was it worth it!
