Hey! I'm Peter. I grew up in a sleepy town on the east coast of the United States. Apple trees, rolling hills, and beautiful lakes - that was my childhood. I moved to a small city to study design for my bachelors. Cue four years of crazy mishaps and adventures. Of course, all things must come to an end. After my bachelors, I started work. My first job? Working for a kitchen and bath company halfway across the country!

I am currently fulfilling a long time dream of mine and backpacking through Europe. There is so much to learn about the world and I hope to experience as much of it as possible.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've heard great things about Couchsurfing. Not only does it help provide places to stay but people come away with amazing experiences to share. I would love to be a part of that!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can cook up a storm. My repertoire of cuisines include traditional Chinese food, Asian fusion, basic Italian, and vegetarian/vegan dishes.

Language practice. If you are learning Mandarin or English I can help you practice. If you are learning French, I would also enjoy practicing that as well though my French is a tad rusty!

Let's chat! I enjoy a variety of topics including, but not limited to, movies, music, video games, books, and just life. Or if you prefer, sustainability, philosophy, spirituality, social justice, business, and entrepreneurship.

Hosts, I love hanging out and getting to know you more! Just know that I'm also very independent so if you're super busy, no worries! I can be perfectly content doing things on my own!

Okay, whew. Hope this profile wasn't too long. Safe travels and take care!
