Hi My name is John Reed and I'm from Ireland.
I'm here in the U.S.A on a soccer scholarship and ive been recruited to Louisiana State university at Alexandria. I'm majoring in Maths and minoring in Chemistry. I like to keep fit and love the outdoors. All I want to do in life is travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because I'm moving to New York this coming summer to work and I would like someone to maybe just tell me the right places to go. I'm a self providing student. Ive worked hard all my life and pay all of my fees myself. Just looking for someone who could give me a helping hand the first couple of days I get to New York.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite type is old school hip-hop, 90's to the early 2000's, Eminem, jay-z, biggie, tupac, Nas, 50 cent, Nas, Snoop dog (I know I'm white) haha. I also really enjoy house music. It's like techno

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive been working since I was 14 and have been financially dependent since that age. My Dad never had to give me hand outs and he is quite proud of that. I got scouted playing a game of soccer for Dublin City University, and was asked to come to the States on scholarship. I'm quite proud of myself for making that dream a reality.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to cook. I know the basics but I would not subject anyone to my cooking for too long haha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a funny guy and I don't like just wasting days away sitting on the couch. I'm very open, whats mine is yours.
