My name is Justin and I'm from Chicago, IL. Currently, I run an indie record label with my brother in Los Angeles. Prior to working in music, I spent 9 months solo-backpacking around the world. It was the greatest experience of my life, and while I no longer have the bandwidth to do trips of that magnitude, I still try to leave the mainland U.S. at least once a year. Before backpacking, I spent 4 years working in tech for companies like Yelp and Dropbox.

I love learning, languages, traveling, music, photography, sports, and philosophy.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm on couchsurfing to find affordable housing with interesting people to meet and exchange stories while I'm on the road

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I quit my job at Dropbox to fulfill my dream of traveling the world on my own with a backpack.
I then moved to Los Angeles to pursue my other dream of helping artists build their careers and audiences.
