CURRENT MISSION

Find myself while meeting everyone else!

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Jonathan. I am a university student from the USA. Anytime I have break from school, you can usually find me traveling around my country or abroad. I've volunteered in Tanzania, hitchhiked in Greece and Bulgaria, and worked briefly in Turkey. Each place has taught me something new about the world around me and about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Collect experiences, not things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Being a student, I am on a tight budget. But more important than saving money is couchsurfing is a great oppurtunity to see a place through the eyes of the people who live there
