My name is Jordan Weiner ( funny last name I know) , I’m currently a senior at a university in Phoenix, majoring in information technology. I love to write about life in its entirety — check out my blog at jweinsite.com and you can get a great feel at the type of person I am. Next summer I will be traveling with a good friend of mine all across Europe, and our main goal is to connect with people of all cultures and learn how life is lived outside the United States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I know that there is an abundance of travelers and like-minded individuals who have endless knowledge, experiences, and stories to be shared, and though this is my first real travel experience, I believe this is what it's all about. All I know is life inside the United States, and the culture here is ignorantly self-absorbed, therefore my knowledge of how life is lived elsewhere is incredibly minimal. I've found that nothing brings me joy like meeting new individuals and sharing experiences, and to have the opportunity to travel the world is truly a blessing, and I truly look forward to whomever I may encounter on my journey. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge, experiences, sympathy, outlook, and worldview - as well as a genuinely fun time, and many laughs and smiles. I am an incredibly open-minded person, as well as very clean and organized. I will respect your home and your property, and I am more than willing to help clean or cook or whatever else you may need. :)
