Hey I'm Bruce. I'm passionate about traveling this wonderful globe of ours. I'm planning on going to graduate school for Architecture and love seeing different architecture and architectural history all over the world. I brew my own ginger ale.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want don't just want to visit a place, I want to experience a place. From my travel experiences there is no better way to do this than to connect with locals. I want to meet new people and have the chance to exchange ideas and conversations and learn and grow. I'm new to this couchsurfing.com community but not new to couch surfing! I look forward to meeting new people.
