Hello, and welcome to my page! My name is Drew and I'm 20 years old (21 on April 15th). I'm a vegetarian and I love animals, though I don't travel with animals. I'm from a small city in the mountains of southern United States called Ellijay. The name Ellijay actually comes from the Native American word Elatseyi, which means new ground. I have an interest in many cultures and I love to meet people from all different walks of life. I am currently trying to discover life through travel and I've come to the conclusion that one of the best ways to discover life is to meet different people through travel. Above all else, my goal is to have as many stories to tell and as many adventures as possible. Right now, I don't think I've had enough adventure, so here I am! I am a very courteous house guest who picks up after himself. I will be grateful to any host who offers me their couch and I will treat them and their home with respect. One important thing in life is to have fun. You can have many different things, but the most important things to have are fun, happiness, and a quality of life. I don't care for those who place the value of life on materialistic objects and things that don't truly matter. So, I'm always trying to have fun and to increase my quality of life by living. I like to try new things and I consider myself open minded. Music is a big interest of mine. I can play guitar. I mostly play Rock and Metal because that's the music I grew up listening to, but I can play many varieties of music. Though I'm not the best musician in the world, I'm always open to playing with anyone of any skill set. I have many other interests that I've yet to learn, but would love to learn like glass blowing, beer brewing, skydiving (without an instructor), cooking (I can cook only simple things), flying, marital arts, story board writing, and much much more. Too much to list, honestly. One thing to mention is that I'm brand new to CS. It would be amazing to be part of such a great community. I hope to make many friends and to make unforgettable memories everywhere I go. I really couldn't ask for more. It's impossible to list everything about one's self in a few paragraphs or less, so if you have any questions to ask me about myself or anything else, feel free to ask! :) I will answer all of your questions with genuine answers. I am an easy person to get along with and I will be the best guest I can be. I look forward to meeting you and enjoy life with you. Afterall, the best part of life is LIVING! :)

I'm currently not hosting anyone because I live with roommates who are opposed to the idea of CS, but I hope to one day in the future be a host myself :)
