Hi, I'm Tommy!

There's nothing more I like to do than hopping in my car and exploring new towns, scoping out different cultures and meeting cool people along the way. I love psychology and discussing rationality behind human behavior. My major was psychology in college after all, but I'm looking forward to pursue a career in the field of human resources management.

I love coffee, tea and Thai food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning a trip for 6 weeks beginning in May 2015. I figured, 5 years of working two jobs and going to school full time? Let's quit my jobs, graduate, and travel west until I'm ready to commit to the big boy life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not something I've personally done, but I've worked at an amazing nonprofit child welfare agency in Michigan for abused and neglected young women ages 11-18 for the past year. They specialize in the education, rehabilitation and treatment of girls with mental health and substance abuse issues as well as those whom were victims of human sex trafficking.
