Hello! My name is Jarrett. I'm from California (USA). I'm currently a student studying Management Information systems and Accounting. I'll be traveling to Europe this summer for 7 weeks! July 1st - August 20th. This will be my second time visiting Europe. Instead of posh Airbnb's and hotels lol, I wanted to step outside my comfort zone by staying at hostels and with couching-surfing hosts. I think it would be a great way to make new friends, have a taste of cultural authenticity and an all-around memorable experience! I am new to couching-surfing and don't know to much about it. Any couch-surfing tips or just traveling tips in general are much appreciated! Flying into Barcelona and staying for a week, then next stop London, UK!! Your kindness will be very much appreciated. I will be staying in London for a week. Looking forward to meeting you and very excited to see what a couch-surfing experience will be like. :)

***Update: 7 week solo European trip completed!!!
So thankful for the people I met during my trip. You ALL made it an unforgettable experience for me! Many thanks. Can’t wait to cross paths again!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Richer for the experience. I want to join the couchsurfing community, make amazing new friends, gain valuable cultural experiences, and have fun traveling!

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy a vast variety of music. HBO shows like Game of Thrones and Westworld. Shows I like: Vikings, The Grand Tour, Ozark, The Office, Blue Planet 2, The Great British Bake Off, Salt Fat Acid Heat, Chef’s Table, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, etc...
Any movie by Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, action, horror, comedy, documentaries, suspense. I also enjoy reading when I have a chance. Reading book 1 Game of Thrones, and after will start Annihilation and Hunger Games part 3!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Not really sure. I went solo camping in the wilderness for 3 days in Yosemite National Park, CA. I felt like I accomplished something big and I was proud of myself. Or when I went on a solo backpacking trip through Europe for 7 weeks during my summer break 2018!
