My name is Jordan Wood. I am an Irish American Citizen. I am incredibly proud of my heritage. I am a full time Artist and my mission is to lift life's burdens through the spiritual healing of art. I find my inspiration through the adventure, the romance, and the spontaneity of Travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all in the Journey. Why not. Plus I had to sleep on a park bench in Glasgow last summer cause I ran out of $$ so it would be good to keep my accommodation options open haha

Interests

I am interested in absolutely everything. Thats what life is all about right? Old soul though. Should have been born in 1912. Being an Artist I love anything creative. I enjoy painting, sculpting, woodworking, and filming. Im a huge movie, music, and book buff. Im an avid outdoorsman. Fishing is my passion and I love to sail. I enjoy cooking and learning to cook. I dabble at the guitar and irish penny whistle. I do a lot a wildlife photography and I love to be in Nature.
