I am spending this semester studying abroad in Germany on my 5th study abroad program. I love to travel, learn more history and languages, and experience new cultures. I tend to be a bit shy/quiet in person, but I will open up quickly if you get me talking about the right things! I consider myself to be a nice and respectful person, and I try to be a man of my word. I have always stayed in hostels, hotels, dormitories, or with a host family, so CS seemed like a good way to have a new kind of travel experience. Usually I do not get to have much interaction with locals, and I would really like to change that.

Most of my hosts will probably be somewhere in Germany, so for those people, I can speak a little German. This is my third year studying the language, and I could always use more practice, as my speaking and hearing need a lot of work.

If you have any questions about me, feel free to ask me in a message!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I USE COUCHSURFING

I want to meet and learn from locals in the destinations that I visit, as interaction with locals is something that I have not gotten to experience often. I find all cultures, ways of life, religions, and backgrounds interesting to hear about and discuss, and I am very open-minded. I travel alone on many occasions, so this also provides me with someone to talk to and explore with during my stay. I also want to build up my reputation and credibility on this site, so that when I go backpacking through Europe later this year, I can do so in a more memorable and personable way (not to mention cheaper). While price is certainly a factor for students like myself, be assured that I will NOT treat your home, your belongings, or you like a hostel.

WHY I DO NOT HOST (except for extreme circumstances)

I am currently living in a student dormitory, and therefore have a very small room with a very small bed. It would be possible for a small person to share the bed, assuming they were okay with bodily contact throughout the night. My floor is always open and clean, but that is not a very comfortable place to sleep. However, I enjoy helping people in need, so for those with absolutely no options left in Regensburg, I am willing to offer what I have.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies - Gladiator, V for Vendetta, Saving Private Ryan, Kingdom of Heaven, Marvel movies, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, generally any movie that involves history, combat, or sci-fi

Music - Primarily techno (and all its variants), classic rock, and pop. Open to just about any music except for rap, as I find the lyrics to be incredibly vulgar with little artistic value, in most cases. I enjoy discovering traditional and modern music from other countries and cultures.

Books - I read a variety of books in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Usually my interest gets piqued by the synopsis on the front/back cover of the book. I spend the majority of my reading time with Warhammer books. I play the tabletop game, and find it to be one of the most interesting, complex, and diverse universes ever crafted.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

So far I've gotten through college debt-free thanks to scholarships and hard work, so for an American student, that is quite an amazing feat! I am also currently on my 5th study abroad program. I am incredibly grateful for this, as most students never get to go once.

I also did some volunteer work in Belize. I went with a student group to a local high school, where we upgraded their network infrastructure, overhauled their current computer systems at the time, installed wireless throughout the school, and even repainted their computer lab!

教，学，和分享

I am always willing to learn more and teach what little I know. I can share a lot about my hobbies and my travel experiences, and would enjoy hearing the stories of others as well!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

An open mind, a yearning for discovery, respect, kindness, and a quiet guest. =) If I know far enough in advance, I always try to bring some kind of gift to my host in appreciation. I can also share my knowledge of the USA, computers, gaming, and English for those who are interested.
