Hi I'm Gary :). I am currently a Junior CSU Chico in beautiful Northern California. Right now I am working as in Support Services in a Young Adult Rehabilitation center and I work as a dishwasher at night. These positions are only for the summer and I will be moving back to Chico soon. I seek adventure, whether it be hiking, mountain climbing, surfing, skating, biking, wake boarding, dirt biking, you name it. I also enjoy playing music with other people. I'm more particular to drums, but I can lay guitar too. I've had many passions throughout my life, but none so strong as traveling. Ive been all over the US. Unfortunately Ive only left the country once on a trip to Mexico, and have been putting off trips out of the states since. Recently I have realized, why wait till I'm old to travel. So I started planning a trip to europe about a week ago and was referred to this sight by a friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a college student and money is tight!! That being a big reason, but is not the only reason for my venture onto this seemingly brilliant site. I also want to be immersed into the culture of wherever I can travel. What better way to do that than stay with locals :)
