I'm Glen Anderson, and I quit my job eight months ago to travel the world. My original goal was to travel from Dublin, Ireland to Tokyo, Japan by land and sea. After achieving this goal, I decided to keep going. I would now like to travel to 40 countries before I go back to the U.S. I studied history in college, so I'm interested in your local, regional, and national history. You know where we can get some weird food? I like any food. All the food. As long as it doesn't have a lot of shrimp in it, because I'm kind of allergic to shrimp. It's really like a 50/50 shot that I'll swell up to some extent. Actually, I'm willing to risk it, if you know of some really good shrimp type food. Oh, if you're willing to sit still for a little bit I'll practice taking portraits with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people from the local area. While meeting other travelers in hostels is fun, they don't know the terrain or where the good food is located.

Interests

Practicing photography, but that doesn't mean I'm any good.
Staying up to date on politics.
Reading science fiction.
Eating.
Learning about the history of foreign countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled from Dublin, Ireland to Singapore without getting on a plane. That means I've taken a lot of ferries, buses, motorbikes, and trains
