Hellooo! My name is Tristan and I am a Travel Addict! Really, I love and have always loved travelling. Meeting new people, trying foods, learning the history, taking pictures, looking at topics through new cultures, making new friends.... ive made so many incredible friends through travelling.

Im pretty relaxed and a good listener people usually say. I also have an open mind about most things and just enjoy learning. ... soo... I guess thats a good start to explaining who I am. I hope to meet you all someday!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed on people's couches a few times, but usually I get my own hotel and send messages to people in their city and ask to meet up and tour the city together. CS really is one of the best and truest ways to get to know a city and its culture.

Interests

I enjoy understanding what I am looking at and knowing its significance. Exotic foods are fun, I dont eat super crazy meats anymore.. I tried some that... i didnt like so much ahaha, but i like foreign cuisine generally. Nightlife has always been a joy of mine, although I'm more into bars than clubs. Basically, I am a social person who is interested in learning about foreign cultures and history through first hand experiences. I have been told I am an easy going person who likes good conversations... with a touch of being opinionated... just to make it interesting. :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies.. Sci Fi, Fantasy, Drama.... I would say I like all good movies :D

Music, everything except American country music or rap.

Authors, I'm all over the map on authors I like.. I'm reading George R.R.Martin right now if that helps. And I usually like to read a history book on a country or region I'm going to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uhm, the Olympics in China. I lived a ten minute bicycle ride away from the Beijing Olympics so I got to see a lot of events and completely experience the games. That was pretty awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach? I can teach about my home country and some of its customs, it's a pretty big place and I've lived all over the west coast. I also know a really easy and fun card game.
Learn- I want to learn about your culture and you!
