I am a recent graduate from the University of California at Davis and am currently employed in Sacramento as a substitute teacher. Before I go back to school for another six years (for a PhD in History), I plan to have an adventurous few years travelling and exploring the world. I am an avid outdoorsman who is always up for meeting new people and having a good conversation about anything (music, sports, politics, you name it).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

June-October 2016 I will be backpacking through Europe. Hopefully couchsurfing will help me meet some cool locals while saving some money as well.

I am new to the community, so I do not have many references. However, I do have an open mind. Hopefully you do too? :)
