Hi everyone,

I am an engineering student at Iowa State University. I am originally from the Chicago suburbs, Elgin to be exact. My passion for traveling and meeting people has led me to the site and I am very excited to experience new destinations. For the Spring semester I will be interning at SpaceX in Cape Canaveral, FL. This location is the launch facility for both NASA and SpaceX. I also worked for P&G as a Power, Controls, and Information Systems Engineer for two summers.

I also made a website a few years back that can give you a better idea of who I am:

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

As a student I live on the student budget, but that isn't the only reason I couchsurf. My philosophy is the more cultures, people, and experiences I am exposed to the happier and more well rounded I can become. Staying with a host or hosting someone on my own is how I intend to do this.
