Hi I'm Matt, 28 years old from Pittsburgh PA. I'm a laid back and positive person. Studied economics at a small liberal arts college and then went to grad school and then spent the better part of a year traveling Europe. I think the key to happiness is surrounding yourself with people that are funnier than you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling can be great regardless but having a local show you around to get beneath the surface of a place makes it that much better.

Interests

I love music. Always trying to discover a new band or go to live shows. I enjoy playing guitar a little as well. I like to workout. I'm big into sports, particularly hockey. Saying food sounds dumb since most people I know enjoy it but...I'm interested in food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The ability to meet someone new that's appreciative, open to new experiences and of course chip in for food.
