About Me

Since I'm in college, I'm in no position to host anyone.

I'm a student from Minneapolis majoring in Computer Science with aspirations to become a software engineer (what I really want to do is make video games or music but I can't afford to). I'm a more friendly kind of person who will always be courteous and kind to anyone. I'm a very creative person and I play the piano so If anyone would like to play music with me I'm open for it. I'm also kind of a huge nerd with strong interest in films, television shows, anime, and video games. I'm also really into music, specifically jazz. I have a great sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled to Norway when I was 14 and I fell in love. I've always dreamed of going back and spending a few weeks just living among the people, hiking, going to festivals, eating the local food, etc... And I thought that couchsurfing in Norway would be an amazing experience.

Other than that this is a great alternative to paying for lodgings so SIGN ME UP.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only thing I can think of is probably being Bert in my highschools production of Mary Poppins senior year of highschool. But this doesn't sit right with me as being an amazing thing so I'll try and do something to replace this soon!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm personality, a humorous conversation, and my ability to help out in the kitchen. Also I have a job so I can support myself and will likely treat YOU to meals sometimes!
