Hello! I am a relaxed person, I prefer to go with the flow, which makes me pretty easy to get along with. I am from the US, but I love traveling everywhere. I apologize for not being able to host, I am currently studying abroad in Canterbury, England and so I do not have extra space in my university accommodations. I am a big beer fan and I enjoy talking about sports, science, politics and the like.
I recently got engaged to the woman on the left in my profile picture, Sarah. We hope to see a lot of Europe during our study abroad experience. Back home, I attend Indiana University, which is about 5 hours from where I grew up, Cary, Illinois. Cary is a small suburb about a 1 hour train ride from the city of Chicago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and I love to experience culture, what could be better than staying with locals and really experiencing the culture? I have also heard many great things about people meeting wonderful friends, and I would love to make some friends while traveling!
