I'm a musician and student at the University of South Carolina hoping to meet some new and interesting friends from across the world. Right now, I am studying International Studies and French at my university, and I will be studying abroad in Europe occasionally.

Unfortunately, I can't host right now in life, however next semester I will be able to host my college room, as it will be a small but single room that I am in control of myself. Sharing two roommates now in essentially one giant room does not leave much open for guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new friends and people to talk with and to see life in another country from a native's perspective. I also want to teach people anything that I can about the United States, music, literature... I have a lot that I would love to share! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I attended every single last day of school, the entire day without ever leaving early or arriving late, from 1st grade all the way to my 12th and final year. I never get sick :P

Teach, Learn, Share

French! If you aren't familiar with it. :) I am also more than happy to teach music, whether you want to try and play an instrument or at least want to know how to read sheet music--that is not nearly as difficult as it sounds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, information, history, discuss pretty much any topic on your mind really. I'm also a big guy, so if you needed help with moving furniture around or doing a chore or something for you, I would be more than happy to.
