Hi! My name is Damian, I’m 24, and I recently graduated with a Masters in Computer Science from the Uni of Tennessee, Knoxville. I like photography, videography, flying drones, playing my guitar, and meeting new people, especially from other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I’ve got the degree and I’ve made the mother proud, I’ve decided to backpack Europe before I got started with finding a real job and paying a mortgage. Even though I’m from the States, I’ve always found them to be over-commercialized and lack the character that Europe has, so I’ve come to experience as much of it as I can.
