Student on gap year, visiting as many places as I can before heading back to college in Los Angeles. Always up for an adventure or a party, looking for people to show me the best spots in their areas.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've travelled a fair amount, but I always try to get the local experience to get a real feel of a place. The Couchsurfing community is great for that, especially when I cannot commit to a long stay and would like to connect with some friendly people excited to show me their city. I love finding everything a city has to offer, and I know that finding people to show off their communities I'm always ready to listen and experience.

Intereses

Anything outdoors — hiking, fishing, swimming and running. I'm interested in politics and government, so I follow global and local issues and love discussing anything that comes up.

Música, películas y libros

Bruce Springsteen is always the boss, but lately I've turned more alternative–The Strokes, The Killers and Oasis will always have a place in my musical preference along with the underground hip-hop scene, especially in my home town of Minneapolis.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Making it out of high school seemed like a pretty big accomplishment at the time

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I spent my past year studying politics in the Middle East, but teaching Middle Eastern policy is mostly an autopsy finding who screwed up and when. For the most part, I love discussing what shapes a place and the people there, whether it's religion, politics or art.

Other than that, I always carry my harmonica with me and would gladly join any jam session to be had.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I don't masquerade as a wise, learned traveller but I do have some great experiences to share from past encounters. As a couchsurfer, my goal is to add not only to my own knowledge and experience in new places, but learn with those fellow adventurers willing to go out on a limb for a new opportunity.
