About Me

Student engineer, I like to travel and do things on the fly, very spontaneous. The best way to describe me is that I like to drive around new places without a map and I like to keep moving forward. Very impulsive yet easy going and laid back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and getting the inside scoop on the city I'm visiting. I don't need a fancy hostel every time I travel somewhere, just a place to recharge and a nice comfy floor to sleep on for the night. I spent the summer of 2017 solo backpacking Europe and had a blast! I travel light with one or two bags and my trusty long board that took me through Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books

The last book I read for fun was the Harry Potter series, but I've reread them like 4 times each. Lately I've been reading the biographies of soldiers coming back from wars across the world.

I'm into EDM & Techno mostly but listen to everything that's good. I play guitar and a little piano so any songs that use those instruments I'm immediately attracted to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fired a musket from the revolutionary war period. And a lot of other things I'm legally not allowed to say.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a vast knowledge of a lot of stupid stuff.

I always like to learn new languages/cultures/traditions.

I can pass on my knowledge of music and engineering if you're interested in learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help around the house with whatever needs fixing/doing/cleaning. I can also not be a total burden and be an appreciative guest in your house. I'm a jack of all trades and can do simple repairs, and cook meals.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Macao, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
