23 year old male stuck between two sisters. I grew up in the Chicagoland area and received a degree in neuroscience from the University of Illinois at Chicago. After college I moved out to Boston for a job as a Clinical Data Analyst.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently got laid off from my job, and decided it was time to do some long over due traveling. I've been feeling very regretful lately that I didn't take time to travel while in college and after I graduated. So I'm inclined to take my recent lay-off as a sign.

I will be throughout Europe from 14Sep-20Nov. On this trip I will be doing a lot of camping but also would like to meet locals and experience your culture first hand. Something that can't be done easily from a hotel room.
