Hi there!

I just graduated with a computer science degree in the US and am traveling around Europe for a month before I go start work. I run competitively (4:29 mile, 8:51 3K, 15:45 5K, 33:55 10K), coach a distance running team, go on backpacking and canoeing expeditions, and play a few musical instruments. I'm super passionate about the things I do and love to hear about what other people do too. I have an identical twin brother, I used to live on a boat in the Bahamas, and I will one day live in a van in Kenya.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and learning about new cultures! Being with locals in an area is a much more authentic experience.
