Hi, my name is Nate and I am a college student looking to explore the world! I had my first international experience when I studied abroad in Mozambique in Summer 2016 and now I want to see as much of the world as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a college student on a budget that wants to see as much of this world as I can. For me, seeing the world is more than just glancing at the most popular sites in a city. It is exploring the empty streets and seeing the true part of the city, not beating in the well-worn tourist path. I hope to experience part of the city through the eyes of a local, and share what I've experienced with my hosts.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes tend to be all over the board, but I tend to listen to a blend of Indie music (Ben Rector), classic rock (Billy Joel), and pop music (Train).

I love a good comedy movie. Some of my favorites are Dodgeball and Balls of Fury. I also enjoy a good American sports movie. For a good sampling, try Remember the Titans (Football), The Sandlot (Baseball), or Friday Night Lights (Football).
