Hi there! My name is Shayne and I am a student in San Diego, California. I am studying Theatre, Film, and Business. I think of myself as a very open-minded and positive person, who loves to learn about other cultures. I am an extravert, but also cherish time to myself and my thoughts. I love to travel and meet genuinely nice people who inspire me to be better myself. I’m also somewhat of an adrenaline junky, and I’m always down for new experiences as long as they’re legal (or at least morally okay) ;) I do not smoke and please please do not message me if you’re looking for a date. I am absolutely not single. But if you wanna hang out in a group, I’m down!

I’ve lived in SD my whole life so if you’re looking for places to go please ask me! I love giving recommendations :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a college student, I’m always looking for a good time with as low a cost as possible. Plus I get to meet cool people along the way! I love hearing the amazing things people have done because it inspires me and helps me to think of amazing ways to live life I hadn’t even thought of!
