Hi, I'm Evan.

I work primarily Hypnotist, performing across the continental US primarily for colleges and universities. If I'm doing a show while I'm crashing with you, you'll be welcome to attend.

I'm friendly and I'll help you out as best as I can. In return, I ask for a good time/conversation, a fun new experience, and writing a nice note for my wall (you'll see when you get here)... Excited to meet you and safe travels in NYC and/or LA :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've unfortunately had multiple scary experiences while using this site, and I hope to give travelers a safe place to crash without feeling like they're being taken advantage of. I might be too busy to hang with you the whole time, but I'll absolutely give you my fav local spots to go in the city.

2. Eating pizza, cheese, seafood, chicken and various other foods for the first time when I was 20 years old.
3. Made my own djembe drum in Langa.

9. Lost my friends in Cederberg National Park, stumbled into a leopard preservation area and mistook these two baboons as my friends.
10. Afrikaburn 2013, Burning Man 2014
11. I cast a spell on witches in Moshi to scare them for taking advantage of me and my Kili guide. They flipped out.
