Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am 22 years old and graduating with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering as well as the college debt of an american university. Part of my college experience involved studying abroad in Singapore and backpacking in the surrounding SE Asian countries. I met extraordinary travelers and locals, and also liked who I became through adventure. I am determined to continue to grow in new cultures and to meet more inspirational people. I am backpacking in Europe from May 17th until August 11th and traveling through Iceland, Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, Barcelona, Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, Berlin, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. I am visiting friends in many of these places, working in some and excited to meet new people everywhere!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have worked as a personal trainer, volunteered as a swing dancing instructor and regularly cut the hair of my guy friends and my own. I have worked in a machine shop and am familiar with general power tools and basic woodworking.
I am also happy to share any wisdom (or just opinions) from life experiences, though I'll likely be more interested in hearing yours!

My friend Matt will be in Europe with me until June 20th . He is very outgoing, a great sport with constant teasing, pretty funny himself and a good musician (singing, guitar, uke, piano).
