Hello! My name is Peter and I am currently a Masters student at the Glasgow School of Art studying Graphic Design. I am originally from Portland, Maine but have lived in upstate New York and the NYC. I chose to study abroad in Scotland so I would have more access to travel in Europe and be able to meet more international friends. I love to cook, travel, dance, listen to music (although I wish could sing or play an instrument), and am passionate about art and design. I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While in school it is hard to pay for accommodations as I am on a budget and have loans to pay back. I thought it would be good idea to save a few dollars by joining Couchsurf while meeting locals and new international friends at the same time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving from Maine to Texas in a 1984 Alfa Romeo Spyder with the top down while the engine would temporarily overheat and we had to pour jugs of water on it, cruising along the Blue Ridge Mountains and stopping in New Orleans and eating at Cafe Du Monde at sunrise.
