CURRENT MISSION

To Find Out How To Live Here

ABOUT ME

My name is Zachary Conan Bednar. On October 30th, 2009, I hit the road to discover what I could find out about myself, and the world around me. Either by hitchhiking, bus passes, trains, or on foot. I really want to see what this world has to offer, or if it has anything to offer at all. I want this journey to change me in some way, and I want to feel the difference, and know it's apparent. I want to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends, and absent family members. I want to return to Lakeland, Florida, and understand things a little bit more. See things a little bit clearer.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like I haven't figured anything out yet. I still have to figure out how to live here, maybe then I can figure out why I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm travelling at the moment, but whenever I settle down and post up for a while I'll host to any and all CouchSurfers that head my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best CouchSurfing experience I've had so far has been in Ashevlle, North Carolina. I met great people, played music, and drank good wine.
