ABOUT ME

I'm a curious and ambitious photographer who has a lot of pride for his home city of Minneapolis. I'm a traveler as well as a homebody. I love to document and hear about others' lives. Currently I am self-employed (fun-employed?) and just recently moved to Winchester, VA. I don't know a whole lot about the area, but if you're up for it I'd be willing to explore with you! If you want to check out where I've been/what I've been up to, you can visit my website http://www.mattmeadmpls.com . Hope to hear from you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Do one thing a day that scares you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently just moved to Winchester, VA to be with my wonderful girlfriend Raya. We do have a small house and are often not available to host during the week. That being said, if we can - we will - so, definitely let us know if you're in the area. Check out her profile as well at https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2968650/profile .

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am now just getting back into hosting after a long hiatus. Every surfer that has stayed with me has taught something new and has shown something about our own city that we had not known, and we really want that to continue (as I am in a new city myself!). I also traveled (literally!) around the world and stayed with hosts in a couple countries, so I know how difficult it can be surfing and needing your own space.
