Hi, I'm Justin. I come from the fair state of Minnesota. There I studied art and design in college and since gone to volunteer and work with various clients and non-profit organizations throughout the Twin Cities and Pacific Northwest. A couple years ago I moved to Kiel, Germany where I attended grad school in sustainable design. Now I'm living back in Portland, Oregon working as a marketing designer for an energy efficiency company.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love the idea that great stories start on the road, not at your final destination, and meeting people along the way who are willing to share their own story is a big part of why I love to couchsurf when I travel.

I believe that the world is beautiful place to explore, life is meant to be lived well, full of adventure and happiness ought to be shared often.

Sometimes not knowing what comes next is one of my favorite things about traveling abroad :)
