Hey all! 20yo from the US, backpacking around Europe for the next month, looking meet more locals and make buds abroad. I'm a relatively academic guy with a background in humanities + computer science, but hate letting work be my life. I try to experience the richness of life and am down for basically anything - outdoors, city shit, etc. Love people who love their hometown (big value of mine since high school).

Very social and willing to do whatever you think is worthwhile. Happy to help out around the house to make hosting a little easier. Reach out to me with any other questions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my proudest accomplishments was breaking 5 minutes in the mile run (1600 meters). Training for it was hell - seven workouts a week, low sleep, etc., combined with a heavy courseload in school. I almost failed to pull it off too, because I was 20 seconds slow all but two weeks prior. Still, I pushed my body to its limit on the last race of the regular season and smashed through the barrier, albeit nearly blacking out from exhaustion at the finish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, primarily, as well as maybe a nice dinner out. Couchsurfing for social reasons more than financial. Very open to doing whatever.
