I am a Master of Journalism Student at Carleton. You can find out all about my travels at http://jonathangot.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to get an authentic local experience of the local surroundings, cultures, events and everyday life. Also want to avoid all the cliché tourist destinations and be able to live like the people there. Monuments and museums will always be there, people and culture will change. I believe CS is about giving as well as receiving, so I host and travel whenever I can!

Interests

Writing, learning, visiting museums, participating in cultural events.

Music, Movies, and Books

Casablanca 1942, it's got to be one of the best movies of all time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove all the way to the Arctic Circle, 3800km.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't suppose I'm in a position to be able to teach anyone anything, but I do have much to learn from others' experiences and wisdom, which I hope to do in my travels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travelling experiences, books and articles I've written. I also like to cook delicious calorie-packing food for fun.
