About me? I'm a 25 year old lost soul trying to find my purpose on this planet (wherever that may be). I hadn't traveled much when I was younger; I hadn't even left the state of Michigan until I was 16. Since then I have been addicted to the feeling of exploring a place for the first time. I like to think of myself as ambitious. If I want to do something, I will scan for opportunities and leap when there is something that catches my eye.
I wouldn't say I am an experienced traveler. I "just wing it" every time but it works out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet more locals in the areas that I stay. I want to be able to socialize and meet new people while I travel. It's a completely different and exciting way to travel. Instead of seeing things through the eyes of a tourist, you get to submerge yourself in these new atmospheres with locals and that is more exciting to me than seeing what a tourist would see.

Interests

The only thing that competes with how passionate I am about traveling, is photography. I've been into photography since I was little, buying and developing the disposable cameras until I could afford a digital. It's probably a safe bet I'll have my camera and often have my camera.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love my EDM, indie, and some occasional country. Music in general makes me happy. With that being said I LOVE music festivals.
As far as movies go I honestly haven't seen many. I haven't owned a TV and honestly don't have time or patience to sit down long enough.
With books it'll depend on my mood but I really love and recommend Malcolm Gladwell.
