My name is Douglas Graham, and I am in the process of travelling the world. A few years ago I decided to sell everything I owned, and took off on the most amazing adventure of my life. I've worked for many years in the food service industry, and have decided I would like to go back to school for linguistics/philosophy in the near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a truly local experience.

Interests

I am big on exercise, healthy eating, and an all around healthy lifestyle. I love to read. Travelling has become a true passion of mine. I am a lover of all kinds of music and art. Meditation, and taking care of the mind is a big part of my life. I have a passion for language. My Spanish is ok, but could definitely use some improvement, and I am currently working very hard on learning French. I am truly interested in living life to the fullest.
