I'm 22 years old, just finished a bachelor of music degree in classical guitar, and I'm traveling around Europe for the summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just got home from Europe, where I had a positive experience using this service. I'm staying at my parents' house in Richmond, VA until I move to Clarksville, TN for grad school in a couple months. As I'm not in my own place right now, hosting isn't really an option (unless you are in a truly dire situation, then try me anyway), but I'd love to meet up with any travelers who want to hang in Richmond. There's lots of great restaurants and breweries and I can show you some nice places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer, I rode my bicycle from the west to east coast of the U.S. over the course of two months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some music, guitar if one is around (it's too heavy to carry one with me, unfortunately)

I love learning about the lives of people I meet, the places I'm in, and so forth.

I travel light, so I don't have much to share in terms of physical goods. I'm happy to treat to a meal or a drink or whatever, and when hosting I am happy to share anything that I have around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm backpacking right now, so traveling light, but I would be happy to contribute what I can. Happy to pitch in either by helping to cook or monetarily for shared meals (or just stay out of the way, if that is preferred), prepare a meal/clean up after a meal. I will of course leave the space I use cleaner than I found them, be respectful of hosts' wishes, etc.
