Hi! I'm John. I am from Franklin, KY. I am currently traveling around the world. I love nature, lifting weights, and speculative fiction. I have a personal trainer license and can help you in your fitness endeavors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to visit new parts of America, especially curious about Alaska. Travel is always one of my favorite things, to see a new place different from what I previously knew, meet new people, it's awesome.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite music artists are Carpenter Brut and Little V. I've enjoyed Interstellar, Star Wars, and the new Dune movie. My favorite book, that I've finished, might be Children of Time . I'll listen to anything because I love music, currently, I've been playing a lot of that metal, phonk, and synthwave. But I'm also eager to hear what other people love to listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tried termites, grasshoppers, mealworms, and probably more bugs than that. Has sauteed a beef heart and enjoyed it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am curious about learning Spanish. I am also interested in drawing, film, writing, maybe 3d modeling? If those are your interests, I'm definitely eager to hear more about those hobbies. I love Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop RPGs, and if someone ever needs a GM, I'm happy to help! I'm also interested in Mongolian throat singing, though a long way off from being any good at it. If you need help with anything fitness related I can also help with that as I am a certified personal trainer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great conversation. I am a very curious individual who loves hearing from interesting people and greatly enjoy talking about deep topics (favorites include the Fermi paradox, why reality is the way it is, and alternate history). I'm eager to help with outdoor homestead tasks, be it chopping firewood or moving dirt. I do plenty of that at my house
