I'm new to the process of couch surfing, though I've been aware of its existence for some time. I'm currently working a job that requires a fair amount of travel, but only within the United States so far, so I'm still a novice at international travel. I'm here for the times I get to travel for my own enjoyment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because I plan to do more cross country traveling and it honestly just sounds far more interesting to me to meet people along the way instead of staying in impersonal hotels all the time.

Interests

My interests are fairly sheltered currently, mostly involving finding new music, drawing, reading, and some writing. The job I've worked for the past year has made it exceedingly difficult to indulge in many outdoor activities, but when I have a more open schedule I enjoy finding new places I never knew existed and taking long walks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got into a juried art show and my drawing was hanging in the first of many rooms, the same room as two of the greatest artists I've ever met. Not a story I expect to amaze anyone else, but it was probably the proudest moment of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not exactly sure what I'm meant to respond to "Teach, Learn, Share". I suppose I can teach you some basic drawing skills, I'd like to learn more about music, cooking, and dancing, and I can share some anecdotes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a very respectful attitude, and as much conversation as desired complete with a couple yucks (depending on sense of humor). I love meeting and learning about new people. I can also offer the guarantee of leaving things as closely to how I found them as possible and a hand with anything that may need done.
