Hi I'm Jed, pleasure to meet you.

I'm 20 years old, and I study English literature and creative writing as well as a few other humanities courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This year I've been living in London, UK as a study abroad student at the University of Westminster.

I'm an easy-going, open-minded and humorous person.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

All of my friends who have traveled Europe tell me that Couchsurfing is the coolest way to get to know a wide range of people and cultures. I'm definitely a people person, and so I'm here to give it a try :)

兴趣

I love music, I formed a band last summer with friends back home, in which I play guitar and sing.

I love reading and writing, and learning about cultures from around the world. Recently I've been really interested in art history, especially impressionism.

I love discussing philosophy, culture, history, art, politics, love... you name it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once built a 1.5 meter tower out of popsicle sticks... (I didn't eat all of the popsicles though-- that would have been a far greater feat).

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm funny, friendly, polite, and easy going. I'm happy to cook and then of course clean up too.

I love telling and hearing stories, and I love playing and hearing music :))
