Hello! My name is Shane Crosland and I am a recent college graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder in the United States, where I received degrees in Film Production, Studio Art, and Design. I would describe myself as charismatic, hospitable, and humble, as I have worked in the restaurant industry since the age of 16. Therefore, I know how to treat others as if they were in the comfort of their own home and show respect for the space of others. Currently on the road with my girlfriend, and we are looking to meet many new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently on an extended backpacking trip with my girlfriend. Couchsurfing seems as though it is one of the better options to reach out to local communities and really establish lasting friendships with people willing to let those on the road into their home. I'm really interested in learning about many cultures worldwide.
