Hi! My name is George. I'm 21 and I live in Vermont, USA. I study Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies at Middlwbury College. I love traveling and enjoying the outdoors with friends. I look forward to many adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love travelling and meeting new people. I think it is much better to travel by meeting local people and making human connections and friends.

From August through November of 2015 I toured through France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy, Couchsurfing the whole way. They were my first experiences with the community and I got hooked!

Since then I've been back in the US continuing my studies but I've been trying to keep up my involvement by hosting travellers.

I want to do some fun, inexpensive traveling. I love meeting people, making friends, and exchanging stories.
