Hello! My name is Collin and I am a young American male in search of art, love, friendship, and everything in between. In May I will begin working as an au pair near Bordeaux. Until then I am on the road, primarily in the UK and France. I am a graduate level student of poetry (though still very much a novice) and happy pursuer of all things expression. Most importantly I am hoping to make some new friends along the way. I would love for you to be a part of my journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostel life is fine, but staying in someone's home offers one a truer taste of culture, I think.
