Currently working in Belgrade, Serbia for a few weeks!

I'm an adventurous and easy going guy from California taking some time to travel after recently completing university. I carry with me an open mind, a curious spirit, and a big heart. I started this trip traveling throughout Europe, but for the duration of my time here I will be volunteering/interning with refugee relief organizations.

I graduated from university with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Human Rights. West coast native - born in British Columbia, Canada, raised in Northern California : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with individuals the world over, share experiences and perspectives, to understand life in different parts of the world, and to make new friends that I hope will one day visit and stay with me in my hometown!

Interests

Love meeting people from all walks of life
Being in situations that challenge my perspective and my comfort zone
Spending countless hours looking up flights and planning my next adventure
Music festivals
Spending time with friends and family
Enjoying the outdoors
Learning new languages - currently working on improving my Spanish, Punjabi, and whatever words and phrases I pick up on along my travels

I'm always up for an adventure and live for spontaneous moments ! So if you're down to meet new people, explore new places, and have a positive spirit, we might just get along :)
