Brand new to this whole couchsurfing thing!

American engineer. Nerdy, funny, easy to talk to, compassionate, loves animals. Love traveling, meeting new people, sharing stories, science, technology, running, being outside, history, reading, and a good beer.

Just graduated with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering! Yay! So before I start my first real adult job, I'm taking 7 weeks to see as much of Europe as I can. This is my first long term travel, and also my first solo trip.
I'm vegetarian (but what you eat doesn't bother me!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to get the advice of locals and see what living in your city is actually like and how the people are -- that's not something you can get in an Airbnb or hostel!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'm an engineer, so I can teach you about physics and math if that's something you're into.

Learn: I want to learn from your experiences, and I want to learn your language. Teach me!

Share: I can share stories and experiences, and also pitch in money for food or whatever.
