Young male shrugging away from responsibilities of government employment and travelling through the US (March - May 2016).

I am university educated and am currently in the process of trying to carve my own path for life rather than just following the herd. I see the best in people and know that humans can be great. Travel has given me new insight into how important our environments are and how changing them only provides us with more experience and knowledge of self and other (probably deeper than I needed to go on that)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think locals have the best insight. Reading through Trip Advisor can be completely tedious and I'd rather chat it out and get the inside word from a face and a voice. I also believe collectively we have a lot to share as humans and couchsurfing is an amazing way of harnessing our residential powers. It's all a step towards caring about each other and working towards debunking stranger danger.
