Hello,
My name is John Long, I am 33 years old and I am from Tallahassee, Florida, USA. Most of my experience traveling has been via Jeep 4x4. Exploring Off Highway Vehicle trails in National and State Parks throughout the USA. I was able to travel internationally 1-2 times per year for competition in skydiving and while on the US Army Golden Knights. Since leaving the military in summer 2020, I have been more and more interested in minimalist and utilitarian living. Now exploring the idea of traveling indefinitely while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To travel in a more connected way. I would like to meet people from different walks of life and understand different perspectives on how to live outside my own cultural upbringing.

I appreciate learning language and culture, and would gladly help anyone interested in learning the English language. Previously I was a skydiving instructor(Indoor, Tandem, AFF) for many years but have not been actively skydiving for over 2 years. I am currently studying Japanese, Capoeira, Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū and in general exploring the local communities.
