Facebook is misrepresenting me-my real name is Tristan. Very passionate about film and art. Been working as a gardener for the past year (if you're a film person, it might amuse you that I gardened for Terrence Malick). interested in the natural world. Interested in the non-natural world. Interested in a lot of things! Love traveling (obviously), exploring, uncovering, reflecting, and generally taking it all (or most) in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have had friends host people, and was a great experience. Have used once before, in Asheville, and was also a great experience. Currently traveling from Austin, TX up to Philadelphia, with stops in Tennessee and a hike in the smokies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Film- americana (Nashville), trippy spectacle (Mullholand Drive), cult oddities, the classics, lots of esoteric foreign stuff, and everything else.

Books that show me new ways of describing or thinking (aka lots of big modernist novels). Lots of music; afrobeat, indie, outlaw country, jazz, bluegrass, folk, idm, krautrock, but above all, Hendrix, and the best of the '60s.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Florida to Texas was pretty fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I'm not the *most* gregarious person, a little on the quieter side of things. but still pretty cool. Just so your expectations are in the right place. Other than that, some good times, hopefully!
