Hello! My name is Dylan. I'm a student in Richmond, VA working on a cinema degree in between bouts of aimless wandering. Passionate about people & places & a few select things (mostly makin' things & learnin' things). Interested in sustainable agriculture & all forms of art/creation/expression. Curious about everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm heading out west on a solo cross country road trip this summer & am looking to meet like-minded people & see places I've never seen before!
