Hello. My name is Derek Dodds and I'm a student-travel enthusiast. I'm currently traveling the UK. Over the past couple years I've started to prioritize my travels and have been loving the experience. Right now, I enjoy meeting new people, hiking, photography, and talking about life.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've met a few people that recommend Couchsurfing to me. I'm currently traveling alone and would love to meet new people and experience the local culture through locals. As I'm very new to Couchsurfing and I'm setting up my account overseas (without cell service), it's been a bit difficult with the verification process. But, any questions feel free to ask!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm a bit of an emotional guy (that's ok, right?). So, anything that makes me feel something in an impactful way-- wether that's music, movies, or literature. But, I love fiction and animation.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I've graduated a few times. So, there's that.
