Hello! I am Steven Koprowicz, and I am attempting to be the youngest person ever to visit and dance in all 3,144 county-equivalents. I am also hoping to dance in 8,000+ U.S. cities!
I'm a 23-year-old former data engineer who graduated from the University of Iowa at age 19. I quit my job in July 2023 for unrelated reasons, and I decided to travel for a short while before starting a doctorate program. Months later, in February 2024, I began a challenge to dance in all 3,144 county-equivalents in the United States! I have currently visited over 2,300+ county-equivalents off of the interstate (all by myself) as of August 2025. I have currently danced in 3,500+ cities across 1,300+ counties! I post these videos on Instagram and TikTok. I don't make money from these videos, unfortunately.
There's no shot I have enough funds to cover Alaska, Hawaii, California non-county seats, Canada, most metropolitan suburbs, or the [majority of the] cities I drove through before I started dancing. Traveling across Alaska and Hawaii is very expensive because of the astronomical amount of flights and overnight ferry trips required. This includes camping in a tent on a ferry for 6 straight days and traveling to a remote part of Hawaii via mule trail.
I unfortunately do not have the funds to visit Alaska and Hawaii, nonetheless visit every county-equivalent in those states. Thus, I won't be able to become the youngest person to visit every U.S. county equivalent with raising money.
There are also about 1,000 counties that I drove through before I began filming that I won't be able to film in without raising money. Thus, I won't be able to document most of Appalachia, the Deep South, Virginia, North Carolina, and the Pacific Northwest, and much of the Mountain West.
I am also hoping to visit every urban area in the United States, though it's likely I will come up 100-200 areas short (excluding California, Alaska, and Hawaii) without raising money.
My TikTok is @county_dancer. My Instagram and old TikTok are @county_collector.
I sleep in my car every night, and I spend about $15 a day excluding gas and car insurance. I'd love to visit and film in as many communities as possible.
