What's up! My name is Phil, I am a 20 (almost 21) year old college student from the US, currently studying in Madrid, Spain. I study Spanish and International Relations. I am originally from upstate NY, but my home university is in Boston. I love meeting new people, learning languages, and exploring new places. I am a really lowkey dude always looking to have fun and positive experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a really cool and strange opportunity to meet people I would NEVER otherwise meet. Traveling is something I am super into, and I think couchsurfing can give you a unique, local and authentic experience wherever you're going, which is difficult when the only resource you have is TripAdvisor.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical because I am a musician, but I can get into anything that isn't country.

I love a good documentary, but also pretty much down for any genre.
