I am 18 years old and am taking a Gap Year after graduating high school in May 2014.
I am exploring the world to have as many different experiences that I can--I want to see the worlds biggest cities and the worlds most isolated locations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The individuals I meet on the road are the reason I travel, and the people I appreciate meeting most are locals. Couch surfing is unique opportunity that will allow me to connect with the people in the countries I visit.

Interests

Photography- I love exploring the environments I encounter with my camera.

Reading and writing-I always have a book and my writing journal with me

Anything Outside. I'm currently doing a european cycling tour and want to get into more mountaineering and backpacking.

Hiking-I always find myself drawn back to the mountains. I'm always looking for the best hikes in whatever area I'm in.
More than anything

More than anything I'm interested in experiencing what my host enjoys doing and seeing how others find happiness in life

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, movies and books I have a broad range of interests. I listen to classic singers like Sinatra and Stevie Wonder, Hip Hop and R&B like A Tribe Called Quest, Notorius BIG, Frank Ocean and the Weeknd, and Instrumental Music as well. I don't watch a lot of movies, but like Tarantino and Christopher Nolan Movies. I like reading fiction, mainly fantasy like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones but have been reading more stuff like Asimov and H.P Lovecraft

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was one of the top 100 runners in the 800 Meters for USA High School runners

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others how to juggle and plenty of random facts from years of reading different books

I like to learn about anything, if you have something to teach, i'll listen

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am respectful and thoughtful of others space and understand I am a guest. I would be willing to work around the house or do anything to help out the host. I can share my willingness to learn about others interests, stories and journeys
