I'm a student with too much extra time on my hands and a desire to learn. I'm looking to use it wisely by travelling around, meeting new people, experiencing their story, and learning their experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is far more about meeting people and experiencing their story than it is about staying inside a hotel. I'm here to meet new people and learn from them to help learn how to spend the rest of my own life.

Interests

- Meeting new people and learning their stories

- Philanthropy and volunteering

-Collecting music; I own original pressings of the first two Black Sabbath albums.

- Learning languages and culture, and trying new local cuisine

Music, Movies, and Books

-Too much heavy metal, grunge, and punk rock to list. If it has electric guitars and is emotionally expressive, I may have listened to it at some point.

- Anything Lord of the Rings related; I've seen LOTR In Concert, twice

- Favorite authors include Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Chambers, and Samuel Beckett.

- I'm especially interested in World history. I can tell you a fair amount about the Eastern Front in World War II to how the Epic of Gilgamesh was discovered and just about every topic in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow earned a scholarship to study free of tuition in the United States

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some incredibly boring stuff about business analytics and consulting. I can talk more about experiences with traveling, dual citizenship, the correct way to pour a pint, or how to properly squat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being a respectful guest who always cleans up, and is always willing to learn and help out.
