Hey there, I’m Patrick and new to CS but love the concept and am excited to give it a whirl. While I’ve been fortunate to have lived in 7 different states (NH,ME,CO,NY,NC,MA,CA), traveled to 40 of them, I’m still in need to chip away at my international list and thought this was a great way to make it work and hopefully have provide others the same opportunity when they travel through San Francisco.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s not the easy thing to do...I could easily book a hotel room and have a great time but I’d rather have the opportunity to meet people from around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

One thing about me is that you should never ask me for music recommendations...not because I don’t appreciate music, just because I never remember names of artists or songs. I just used this site to run my top Spotify artists and I’m not sure who most of them are! Top artists -- (In last 4 weeks) Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweat, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Lord Huron, The Lumineers, Florence + The Machine, Rodríguez - (side note great Netflix documentary on this guy - Searching for Sugar Man), Jordan Mackampa, Sons Of The East, Houndmouth
Top artists - in the last 6 months Van Morrison, Drake, Florence + The Machine, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Vance Joy, Leon Bridges, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Rage Against The Machine, Atmosphere, Run The Jewels Skip Peck The Album Leaf , Todd Terje, The xx, Andre Nickatina, The Avener, Nirvana, Avicii, alt-J, Mac Dre,
