CURRENT MISSION

See the world, take pictures, and soak up as much culture and knowledge as possible

ABOUT ME

Ciao! I am very passionate about life and always seeking the next adventure. I am skilled at talking with strangers/making new friends, or just being on my own in a new place. People can usually tell right away that I am polite, willing to help others, and always eager to learn new skills or knowledge :)

PHILOSOPHY

You get out of life exactly what you put into it--Positive thoughts and attitudes lead to positive circumstances :) I'm also a big fan of living in the present moment as often as possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will gladly hang out with anyone visiting in the area, and potentially even host. I am 30 min north of Baltimore though, so I realize it's not ideal to get to, but if you are in a jam, feel free to send a request :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each surf has been a dream... no negative experiences whatsoever yet. I love this site.

Interests

The three things I could not do without are photography, travel, and music. Fortunately for me, its not difficult to combine all three :-) I always take hundreds of pictures on every trip I go, and I have traveled to specific locations just for musical events happening in that area at that time. I am always looking to get surreal or extraordinary pictures of the places I visit by seeking the perfect location/time/weather. If I stay with you, I would gladly send you prints of the best images I take from that area B-)

Also, I have developed a strong interest in meditation, and am always looking for others who are interested in this practice.

Miscellaneous other interests include: hiking, biking, yoga, cooking, dancing, singing, gaming, reading, writing, drawing, rock climbing, kayaking, coffee/tea, art galleries, parties, just chilling outdoors, watching the stars, and plenty more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love comedy & action movies like Walk Hard or Inception. Christopher Nolan is probably my favorite director.
My favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Phish, Muse, Lotus, String Cheese Incident, STS9, Pretty Lights, and so many more.
My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut but I mainly read non-fiction and self help books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the top moment that comes to mind was heading to the top of Haleakala on Maui, HI to watch the sunrise. At the top, you stand 10,000 feet above sea level, and are above the clouds at the moment the sun comes up. I would (and will) do that again.

Another really amazing place was the inside of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome...truly an amazing sight.

Teach, Learn, Share

The area I can offer the most expertise in is photography and photoshop. I would be more than willing to teach anyone my tips and tricks. Check out my website to see examples of my work www.grahamsnodgrass.com

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beautiful photos of course! You are guaranteed to get copies of our documented adventures. And as mentioned above, I will gladly share any of my knowledge as far as photography and the various ways to edit/organize using Adobe products. I'd also be always be willing to help with cooking and cleaning.
