oh hey there, firstly it's great to meet you! i go by Fern but haven’t fixed my license yet so the deadname Jordan is it

photography became the growing passion that i have invested myself into. it drives me to want to explore the world and capture it all. i had the wonderful privilege of growing up in the smaller town of plymouth, wi, where you had to find beauty in places no one could see it. now based out of sheboygan, wi. if i could travel the world and just travel with photography by my side, i would be living the dream.

i bought my own fixer-upper home in 2021, and am currently trying to make it a cozy sanctuary. Currently there are +100 plants throughout the house. it's three blocks from lake michigan but still needs a bit of work. if you ever need a place, i hope to have an amazing and inviting home for you to stay in

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

my goal is to try to see as much of this beautiful earth before i die, and sometimes finding a place to stay can be the hardest part. hosting people is something i love to do as well. ive designed my home to be a very community open home, although it's not ready for the masses yet. id love to offer my guest room to anyone who needs it, otherwise i have two couches for space

Interests

i consider myself a natural born traveler at heart but a photographer in mind. i never really vacation anywhere, mostly adventuring to see new things and have new experiences

Music, Movies, and Books

when I am around, music is just about always flowing. spotify is my backbone to feeling good. you can find my profile below if interested. talking about music would always be a great way to open up a conversation! https://open.spotify.com/user/21poaa6nief2ck7h2mvtq7abq?si=xJxmfJrgTvWUPxdOBp6rug

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i feel like considering something I have done as "amazing" would be labeled as egotistical. My first trip out was really my favorite thing so far. i took a train trip from chicago, to denver, to salt lake city, to flagstaff, to albuquerque, to home. the entire route was taken on the amtrak train and with a single backpack by my side. saw some of the most amazing places while out there and captures some beautiful images. the trip was about completely unplanned but i regret nothing

Teach, Learn, Share

my education ended when highschool ended so there is not much i can teach you about the book smarts. most of my knowledge is in real-world application. if you are interested in photography, i would love to share my knowledge with you! as a humble plant dad, i have some knowledge about plant care but always love to learn more. i enjoy knowing things, so anything you help me learn, i am greatful for and am more than welcome to listen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i can show you how I see the world in a new and beautiful way, as well as provide great conversation if you are willing! local things in town are my specialty, so between all the coffeeshops, parks, restaurants, shows, events and more; i'm sure i could help recommend some things!
