Hi! My name is Jared. I'm a 21 year old recent college dropout from Portland currently embarking on a month or two long trip around the U.S on Amtrack. I'm passionate about contemporary art and am trying to see as many museums and galleries as possible while on this trip. While I am definitely looking forward to meeting new people and exploring with them, I also understand that people have lives and work and will do my best to be a quiet, respectful and low impact guest while I'm staying with you, if that's your preference.
