CURRENT MISSION

Traveling through Europe as a couple for 6 months (maybe more depending on cash flows).

ABOUT ME

My name is Tedd, and I am traveling throughout Northern Europe, etc for most of 2018 with my partner of 5 years, Logan. We met in Durham, NC, USA. I am originally from Chicago, IL and Logan is from eastern North Carolina. We are both visual artists. (Check out our instagrams: @dirtyconsumer and @slowwjam) We love drawing, drinking coffee, hiking, exploring new cities, walking in general, and eating good food. We wouldn't mind having a few drinks while we're at it. Please show us the best cafes and bars to draw at! If you could give a place to crash as well that'd be a great thing too.

PHILOSOPHY

The Dude Abides.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted several different groups of surfers at my old apartment in Chicago. Always a good experience. I was hosted by several different groups of CSers throughout a year in New Zealand, which resulted in very good friends in Auckland and Dunedin. i hope to continue meeting great people throughout Europe and beyond in 2018.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several different groups of people in Chicago, which has a been a positive experience each time. I was also hosted in Fiji and Auckland, NZ. Through CS I became friends with a local in Dunedin, NZ as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank from a fifth of whiskey, naked, at the end of a diving board, at 3am, during a thunderstorm.
