Hi, name's Mason. I'm a (currently) 23 year old fellow with an afro from Louisiana who has many hobbies (drawing, reading, hiking, climbing, canoeing, parkour, martial arts, theorizing renewable energy sources, trying different ice cream flavors (Seattle has the best so far), coffee enthusiast and tea connoisseur, ceramics, computers and tech, video games, and plenty of other stuff). I should learn to paint but I do not want to devote enough time to get good at it. I am a personal trainer and I love my job. My family and friends matter most to me. I like quoting people but I seldom remember who I am quoting. If you want to know more you are welcome to ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My "Co-Brother-In-Law," Jason, and I are on a very long road trip, the lower 48, this summer. We are hitting every state except Alaska and Hawaii, and are looking for places to surf along the way. He already has an account that he has been using, but I figured that I will eventually need one of my own as I intend to begin hosting whenever the trip is completed. Thus far we've surfed in Philly PA, St.Louis MO, and Seattle WA. All of our hosts have been great so I don't think that I would mind doing so as well. I'm sure you meet many interesting people. (No creepers, fingers crossed).

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything but Country really, I don't know that I have a "favorite" genre of music. Everything from Metal to Classical to K-Pop to Rap/Hip-Hop, all kinds of stuff.

Favorite Movies: Iron Man 1, Limitless, Mad Max, V for Vendetta, probably all of the SpiderMan movies.

Favorite Books: Frankenstein, On a Pale Horse, Dynamic Anatomy, A Sourcebook on Chinese Philosophy, The Book of Five Rings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped 16 ft down without injuring myself.
Hit by a car on my bike 3 times and lived to tell about it.
Almost completed the lower 48, but I'm looking for your help on this one.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have any common interests I'd be happy to help you learn a thing or two.
Jason and I really like teaching Acro Yoga moves.

I'd like to learn to Salsa dance, hold a handstand, speak spanish, and cook whatever special dishes you know of.

Share? I mean, I share pretty much everything. What's mine is yours usually.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pleasant conversation, explorations and outdoor adventures, recipes and cooking stuffs, tales of my wonderful travels and stories of my past. Sorry I don't have anything fancy to give you at the current time.
