In my mid 20s trying to figure out how to use my skills to pay bills and enjoy every moment. Really want to get out of the northeast and find a place that aligns with what I want. Young, creative, adventurous.

**In response to Ken's review**
The first message I sent to hosts was explaining that I was taking a road trip exploring cities for about a day or two. Ken was kind to take me in because we shared a home state. Ken also took me into town to show me some spots. On the way he was very talkative, he boasted about his home in Mexico (more than Chattanooga) and other accomplishments. He wasn't a keen listener, I tried explaining best I could what I was doing on my trip and what work I was looking for. He may have mentioned dinner but when we got back I kindly thanked him for showing me around and told him I was going back into the city for the night. The morning came and thinking he was asleep I left a note on my bed (I guess in 2018 a text would have sufficed). So I ask if you are a potential host to please give me that opportunity. I'm used to AirBNB where I spend a night and there's minimal interaction with the host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing better than local knowledge. I'm taking a solo road trip around the country and for my brief stays in select cities I NEED that insight to help with better understanding the city and if it's right for me.
