I'm just finishing up a summer school program at Utrecht University and am about to start traveling around Europe! Back home I'm currently studying mechanical engineering at Western Michigan University. I love traveling and being outdoors. I have been rock climbing for a little over four years now and I love to camp and backpack as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and travel the world inexpensively.

"The world's big and I want to get a good look at it before it gets dark." -John Muir
