My name is Hadley Hendon, I am twenty two years old. Originally from Los Angeles, California but currently reside in Chicago, Illinois. I am a recent grad of Columbia College Chicago where I received my bachelor or arts in screenwriting and documentary filmmaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before settling into post grad life I want to take this time to travel! I am currently in Morocco making a documentary here for 30 days. Then I am off to Spain. I bought a one way ticket, so I am planning on jumping around as much as I can. I want to couch surf to immerse myself into local culture and to make new friends!
