Hi, I'm Blake! I'm originally from the United States, have a pet 4.5 kg bunny, and love to hang out with friends. I'm extremely excited for my trip to Europe and will be traveling with a friend of mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to find a welcoming host to stay with when my friend and I travel to Milan, Italy. I hope that you can help us out! We will be courteous, kind, and thankful for your hospitality.

Interests

I like running, lifting, hiking, soccer (football), exploring, meeting new people, food, and hanging out with friends/family.

• pets
• dining
• running
• traveling
• hiking
• sailing
• boxing
• soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pretty much anything on the radio. I like pop and country music. I've also become a big Taylor Swift fan (don't judge!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm interesting. Well my rabbit is litter box trained, and he hops around loose in my apartment on his own. I've done medical research on organ transplants. I'm proud of my gains in running and lifting just because of the hard work and training it took me to get there.

Soooo that's more than one thing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to tie sailing knots. I would like to learn about what life is like outside the United States. I'm also excited for traveling because in some of the places that we are visiting, it will be one of the first times in my life that I am not part of the majority group. I am interested to feel what it is like to be in the minority in a group of people.

I've and also a coordinator of a bystander intervention program at a college. With this program I hold a 5 hour certification program for students and provide them with the tools to intervene on behalf of their friends in high-risk situations. I enjoy creating a safer community for all!

In my position, I also supervise residence life staff members and get great satisfaction out of helping students develop professionally and as individuals.

What I Can Share with Hosts
