Hello! My name is John Hammer, I'm a college student, and I'm currently studying abroad in Vienna until June. I love traveling, hiking and especially getting to know people from different walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before this semester started, I did some traveling in Europe and stayed mainly at hostels. I enjoyed the experience but would much rather get to know the people of a place as well as the sights.
