I spent my formative years in the lively cultural hub of Austin, Texas - listening to a lot of live music, eating lots of delicious food (authentic TexMex) and swimming in many a swimming hole. After being exposed to the mountains, I quickly moved to Missoula, Montana for college. Here I explored an endless expanse of backroads, lakes, ridges and peaks, played music in an indie band and studied environmental chemistry. Following graduation, I took a job as an environmental technician at a paper mill in Spokane, Washington. Insatiate curiosity pushed me out in to the world and the couch surfing community. I quit my job in June 2015 and spent a month traveling through Peru. However, this trip only skimmed the surface and I am now seeking a more substantial and immersive international experience.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet friendly and hospitable people in the places I travel. I want to get to know your country, your culture and you, personally. The hope is that this gives me new knowledge and experience to better live my life, but that sounds too solemn. Instead let's call it looking for new kinds of fun with new kinds of people. Hopefully, these experiences (and a permanent place of residence) will one day make me a great couch-surfing host in my own right.

I am currently living in Rostock, Germany on a fellowship for the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals program. My purpose is to serve as a citizen-ambassador that will build ties between the US and German people. I will be doing everything I can to form the deepest possible connection with the culture and the individual people I meet. Fortunately, this will require traveling extensively throughout Germany as well as brief forays into other parts of Europe. Couchsurfing will hopefully make this possible.
