About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently exploring different regions of Germany in order to improve my German. I am an engineering major and German minor. I took an engineering course in Freiburg in order to learn a new computer skill, as well as improving my German.

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Austin, Texas, working in the technology industry. I used to live in Germany when I was younger, and am always looking to improve those language skills.
I open my doors to travelers, and am excited to learn about different people and cultures. I hope you do the same for me when I come visit your home.

PHILOSOPHY

You do your thing, I'll do mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing a lot when I traveled Germany, hosting and surfing. Now I just want to expand my network by welcoming surfers here in Austin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I bgan hosting CouchSurfers while I had a temporary apartment in Freiburg, Germany. They were wonderful people that really opened me up to the program.

I surfed in a couple of places in Berlin, and now am hosting in Austin. The whole Couchsurfing program has been a great experience and I'd like to get involved more before I set back out on my own travels.

Interests

My greatest passions in life are nature, animals, and bicycles. Its a healthy and friendly way to commute, travel, and have fun. I used to play a lot of sports, mainly basketball, but school has kept me busy.
Right now I'm focused on my tech job, but any minute I'm not working, you can find me outdoors!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The greatest natural wonder I've ever seen in my life was at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Seeing the Geysers erupt, some predictable, some erratic, was incredible. If you've never been, it should your next travel destination.
