Hello!

I'm an engineer from the US who will be locating to Italy for some time to pursue Italian Citizenship and take in Italian culture!

I really enjoy meeting new people and learning how others live. I've recently started learning other languages (Spanish and Italian), but I'm fascinated by languages in general, especially learning about accents and dialects within languages (Italy is great for that!).

I'm also an amateur musician - I play jazz manouche guitar and love it!

Parlo l'italiano (intermedio) y hablo un poco de español

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to make connections, meet fun people, and learn about others' cultures, and share some laughs.
