My name is Grayson Martin. I am 23 years-old and from San Diego, California. I studied economics at San Diego State University. I have yet to begin working after graduating, so I'm just trying to figure out life right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can be a reserved person, but I enjoy meeting people from other cultures and backgrounds and learning from them. I think that Couchsurfing can provide unique opportunities and experiences while travelling and at home.

Interests

Sports (American football, basketball, football [soccer] mainly), reading, learning, video games, fashion. I like food and travelling too, but I think that goes without saying.

Music, Movies, and Books

Psychedelic, classic, and prog rock are genres I've always enjoyed. but I also like hip-hop, jazz, metal, and other music too.

Whenever I see The Lord of the Rings movies on TV, I end up watching them; they're great. I'd fill out my favorite movies list with Star Wars (even the prequel films are entertaining enough), Watchmen, and Napoleon Dynamite.

I tend to read articles more often than books, but I enjoy reading informational, non-fiction books more than novels now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped overnight in one of the towers of the Great Wall of China on an un-restored, mostly-empty area of the wall.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Something positive, I would hope. Perhaps a different perspective on things, maybe a few jokes. I guess I know a lot of trivial information, so I could share some of that as well.
