Hi I'm Scott! I am from Phoenix, Arizona. I studied psychological sciences and philosophy and love traveling everywhere that I can. Iam hoping to have genuine interactions along the way and make some friends.

Some things I love:

photography, coffee, hiking, mountain biking, cooking, cognitive science, philosophy, classical and near east history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and immerse myself in other cultures! I love to hang out with people and talk to people and I would not enjoy staying in a hotel by myself. I really love to hang out with one or two people, share some laughs, and have deep conversations. I really enjoy the presence of others

Not super picky about where I am sleeping, decently organized, I can have fun but not a huge partier

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to take good photos, how to make amazing coffee, about philosophy and cognitive science, and great vegan cooking (though not technically a committed vegan or vegetarian)

Learn: anything you can teach me

Share: I love photography and I can take portraits for you or we can go out and I can show you how to take cool photos :)

I can share laughs, I can hang out and talk about anything: where I am from, travel stories, friends, family, life experiences, philosophy and cognitive science and anything really :)
