Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My first couchsurfing experience was in Hannover Germany, where I was working as a summer intern. When I first got there, I was staying in hostels every night because I had not found an apartment yet. My starter money was running out and after work I would have to immediately go and spend hours searching for apartments, with no luck. This was quite a stressful time for me, and it was then that I started getting replies back from requests I had sent via couchsurfing. I met so many hosts that were willing to extend a helping hand to someone who was in need, and I am very thankful to all of them. Being able to stay with friendly locals who knew the city well was not only very educational, but did a great deal to ease my mind. I learned a lot from them, and ended up having a great time when I otherwise would have been stressed. After a month, I had found an apartment. I had such a good time meeting new people through couchsurfing though that I continued to do it for my travels outside of Hannover!

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always up for learning new things from others and sharing areas of expertise I have to those who want to hear. There's a wealth of information in the world that I will not have access to unless I actively try to explore outside the limited pool of ideas from my everyday life. If you have expertise in engineering, music, cooking, other languages, or anything else you find interesting, I would love to learn a bit about it from you.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I've been playing guitar for awhile now, so I can give you a free lesson if you want!
