Hello! I'm Matty, a 22 year old college student from the USA. I love to listen to stories, make music and food, learn languages, and meet new people. I sing and play some guitar and piano--and I make electronic music on my computer. I don't know necessarily what the future brings, but I'm interested in working in education, psychology, or immigration reform law.

Meeting and talking with people helps us to break down the barriers that this wide world has erected without our consent. Even if I can't host or you can't host, I'm always happy to chat. :)

Nice to meet you :)
どうぞよろしくお願いします。
잘 부탁합니다!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

People are cool. Seeing a little slice of their life, helping out around the home, and making food or music together is a beautiful way to travel and engage with the world. We learn so much from each other by helping each other out. And traveling is incredibly expensive these days, especially for a university student.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Lived a year in Beijing studying Chinese for over 10 hours a day!

Climbed six sections of the Great Wall.

Ate natto...

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I love cooking! I'd be more than happy to prepare meals--I can cook most of what I ate growing up, as well as some Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese food (and if you have an oven, cookies or bread!).

Got a guitar or piano? Let's play.

And, of course, I want to know about you, what you love, and what you wish to see in the world--and I can share my experiences too.
