Hi, my name is Jack and I am a college graduate from the US. I went to New York University's campus in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E, where I graduated with a degree in political science magna cum laude. I am now traveling the world before attempting to start a long term career or begin graduate studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing in order to get the best experiences and understanding of where I am traveling through. I have traveled extensively, and have always found my experiences with the people who live where I am traveling through to always be the most rewarding.

Interests

I am very interested in photography - feel free to check out some of my photography at https://www.behance.net/jackdickson .
I hope that my experiences with couchsurfing can bring a new variety and depth to my photography

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Dogville, Schindler’s List, Blue Velvet, Fargo, Pleasantville, Grizzly Man, The Departed, Into the Wild, and Blue is the Warmest Color (to name just a few).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my four years of university life, I have managed to visit 6 continents (unfortunately, I have not made it to antarctica yet).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will always bring my easy-going attitude and energy to help around the house. I will be happy to help with cooking, dishes, or any small house-hold chores in repayment of your hosting me. I will also bring my passion to learn about new people and new places to every home I visit.
