I am currently a second year Doctor of Pharmacy graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In my free time I enjoy staying active, sailing, hiking, skiing, and reading. In my time off I try to travel as much as I can across the US and now this summer throughout Europe. I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I'm very open minded and like to learn as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing but will contribute to such an amazing community. Couchsurfing allows travelers to become a part of your culture and not just a tourist! This summer I am backpacking through Europe with my younger brother Joseph, 19. We are very excited to meet new people and develop lasting connections. Our community makes such incredible possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all sorts of music! My favorite travel related movie is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles : ). I also enjoy reading self improvement books including the last good one, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the top of the Middle Teton, 13,000ft, in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming which is one of my favorite National Parks in the US. I would love to share some of my other adventures too!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I am willing to teach others about American culture, English, and awesome places to travel in the US.
Learn: I would like to learn as much as I can about cultures different than my own and fully engage in them.
Share: I am willing to share with others my life experiences as I also hope to hear for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with my hosts a variety of travel tips and places of interest in Wisconsin or other parts of the US. I will bring a positive, humble attitude as I am your guest and will always lead with respect.
