Hi! I'm Taran. I'm currently taking a gap-year from college to explore, take pictures, make videos, and have adventures. I also love outdoors activities and playing soccer, and I can't wait to see more of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people who live in the places that I'm traveling too! It's also a more affordable method of travel for me.

Interests

• photography

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped my high school's online newspaper, Scot Scoop, win the National Pacemaker award twice! I used to be a journalism nerd, and I still love writing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach anything about photography, video making, or soccer (also still learning the first two). I want to learn anything interesting about the places that I'm visiting, as well as awesome experiences the people I'm staying with have had. I would like to share my photography skills with people, my videos, and I can play a bit of mediocre guitar in a pinch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help with household activities/chores if there is a need, photography/video assistance of any sort, and enthusiasm and excitement.
