Helllooo!
My name’s TJ, 21 year old artist and Sociology/Visual Media student. Very new to this, actually just heard of a friend’s positive experience abroad couch surfing and it sounds like a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and cultures! I love meeting new people and believe you can learn something valuable from every interaction you have with someone new, and it’s a really cool thing! I live in Asheville NC, Interests include traveling, music (do music PR for work!), sociology (major at university), videography (minor) and just art overall! I’ve had this account for a while but my best friend (in my profile pic) and I were in Chicago for Pitchfork music festival and I had plans to stay with her aunt in DC for a night before heading back to Asheville. Unfortunately we didn’t plan well at all and her aunt is on vacation, ironically enough to North Carolina. Pretty easy to talk to, love learning about new things and meeting new people. Let me know if you have any questions, a couch to surf on tonight and or tomorrow would help me out tremendously ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exchange cultures and ideas and meet potential life long friends, or short term friends. Great learning/growing experience either way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about astrology or feminist theory or share my (limited, but growing) knowledge of film and animation. Open to learning about any of these from potential hosts and just about anything else.
