I seek to understand before being understood. I also try to thank God/count my blessings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before I commit to a full-time career choice, I am going to go on a road trip around the US. I have been saving this year, and I will be saving until I leave around August, 2018. I will be selling my current car, and buying a car more suited for sleeping in. The goals of this road trip will be to practice living out of my car, and to learn about the city-life, and environments that other states in the US offer. I eventually will be looking for a career through the Student Conservation Association working in parks, and I want to have a grasp on what those places are like, before I commit to one and move there. I intend to always sleep in my car, or in my tent, depending on the circumstances. I have created this account because I think there will be situations where I am in a new place, and have no where I feel safe parking for the night. I do not need a "couch" but I hope that my small request for a parking spot for the night can be met by some of the kind strangers on this site.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite bands are Coma Cinema, Alex G, Xiu Xiu, and Julia Brown. I also make music and play guitar, bass, and ukulele.
Some of my favorite movies are Creep, Trainspotting, the Machinist, Moonrise Kingdom, and Rushmore. My favorite show ever is Reno 911.
I like writing by the beat poets, and I have enjoyed some popular books like Brave New World, and the essential writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. I have not spent much time reading material outside of my college course load.
