Hey folks! My name is Mason and I’m from Sacramento, California. I just graduated from college with a degree in history. Before pursuing my career, I want to see more of the world and I’m starting with the states. I am currently riding my motorcycle around the perimeter of the United States For next three months as I read books, shoot film, and camp along the way. Hoping to meet new people and try new things - as always!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply believe that traveling unlocks compassion for the rest of the world. Sharing stories and learning about new perspectives and cultures makes us as individuals more cultivated and loving. Meeting locals and experiencing a new part of the world through their perspective is always a great joy. There is no better way to experience an unfamiliar part of the world than with the people that inhabit it.
