I'm Garrett,
I'm an art student and traveller.
Those are the two things I know best.

My work can be seen at burnisland.tumblr.com
Im currently working on a more professional website.

I also camp a lot, always travel with a hammock tent to tie in the trees.
I'm 22 but have had a lot of life experiences in those 22 years. I have been travelling since I was very young.
Relocating to Amsterdam to finish my bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the fall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now Im looking to meet people who have lived in Amsterdam for awhile and could show me the ropes.
I'd rather get to know locals and learn about the city then get drunk with backpackers in a hostel.
