My name's Pat. I learned early how to enjoy being bored even if it's usually better to stay busy. Out of a total of six possible semesters to study in Boston (my hometown and where my university is located), I have only been there for three. I've spent one in Dublin, one in New York, and one in Berlin. I like dense cities, I like rural towns, and I like the open wilderness. Always interested in live music, local art scenes, math proofs, and learning something I didn't know before. My mom's side of the family has 100+ people where storytelling is a tradition taken seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just looking for a place to rest my head, and meeting some people I wouldn't otherwise, and saving money all at the same time
