Hey there!

I'm Cory! I'm an American from Portland, Oregon, currently living in Lviv, Ukraine, living out a long-time dream of brewing beer outside of the United States. It's been a wild ride, and a challenge, to say the least, but I absolutely love the job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I'm getting into my second year of being in Ukraine, I would like to focus more on traveling around Europe, as it's a bit more difficult doing so from the US. Figured this would be a great place to meet folks and get the inside scoop.
