I'm a PhD student in Trondheim Norway. I'm originally from the US and have lived in Norway since 2017. Music is one of my passions, and the last several years rock climbing has been my biggest hobby and way of relaxing during the PhD. I am generally a more quite/relaxed person, and enjoy meeting others and learning from them. In general I prefer to be out in nature rather than in the city.

PHILOSOPHY
Stay Inspired.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been able to enjoy the hospitality of many people while traveling, mostly outside of couchsurfing, but now that I have apartment I can finally give back. ( I have a small home, and have stopped hosting the last few years. ) I started out hosting because I know how much of a help it can be and how nice it is to find a place to stay when your on the road, but it turns out that it's also a way to meet some really interesting and overall great people.
