Hi America. Lets start by saying I came to your country 2 years ago on 3 trips for a total of 8 weeks and have been constantly dreaming of coming back. I love the place or should I say I love the hospitality of American people. I have never known a country to be so welcoming for strangers to come into their home... except India.
I run a portrait photography business back at home in Brisbane Australia and after working hard for 3 years I have now given the business to my sister and now travelling the world for the year. jamisonsfamilyphotography.com.au.
I started in India in mid February and visited Srilanka, Croatian Islands, Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Frankfurt and from 14th June I'm coming to America to explore the country and find a work opportunity to stay.
I love a beer, most of your sports but especially like finding out what makes people tick. I believe if you reveal something vulnerable about yourself you are more likely connect quickly. I love talking about business ideas, meeting new people and having a laugh. I don't care if you're laughing with me or at me... As long as you are laughing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having had the travel Bug since I was 21 its time to visit America again. My plan is to find sponsorship in America as a salesperson. I've been lucky enough to meet over 15 friends through my current trip who have already put me up for Accomodation in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Boulder, Miama, San Fransico, San Diego, Texas and Kentucky, but would still love to meet more people along my travels and experience the different states through real local people.
The three reasons I travel are.
1. To step outside my comfort zone
2. Be myself and only surround myself with people that make me happy
3. Find a business opportunity/ Get sponsored overseas

Although I am new to Couch Surfing and have not hosted people myself, I have been responsible for managing people in shared homes are well as backpacking through Europe

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, not the superficial type where we ask about each others day, I actual give a shit and want to know who people are. I travelled the world for about 1 year of my life since I was 21, sold everything from painted house number of peoples gutter to Sham Wow. Plus ran a business. I have a lot of great stories.
