I am a typical college student - currently studying abroad in Konstanz, Germany. I grew up and go to school in the States, where I study Physics and Computer Science. I have a passion for learning and experiencing new things! I am a fairly quiet individual who is not uncomfortable with silence - but I am happy to converse if you'd like to talk! In my spare time I enjoy swing dancing, playing my ukulele, cooking, and hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of the joy of traveling is meeting locals and trying things that are unique to that area. Couchsurfing strikes me as an easy and fun way to do that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always happy to learn new languages and teach German/English!

If you're interested in cooking, I have worked in restaurants as a chef, specializing in Japanese or Latin-American cuisine. There's nothing I won't try once!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share my skills as needed, cleaning, cooking, or generally conversing. I am a man of few complaints and happy to get the job done.

I'll also bring some delicacies from my city to share! :)
