Hi! My name is Shane. I'm originally from Upstate New York, but I've lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for 7 years. I will be starting at Bucknell University in the fall, where I plan to study political science and Spanish. I love politics, music, photography, and travel. Some of my photos are posted in the album titled "Couch Photos."

My qualities: friendly, respectful, independent, intelligent, energetic, open-minded, genuine, responsible, neat, adventurous, positive, caring

By the way, I'm the one with glasses in my profile picture :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to stay with locals who are also interested in travel. I'm only 18 so I haven't been outside of the United States much, however I have done lots of travel within the country! I'm planning to travel internationally a lot in the next four years. I will be studying abroad in Grenada, Spain and possibly Copenhagen and Lagos.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love nearly every genre of music, but my favorite artists are Rihanna, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, and Troye Sivan.

I'll occasionally watch a movie on Netflix. I prefer psychological thrillers and documentaries!

I read biographies and political books, but I enjoy writing much more than reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to drive on Historic Route 66 in California!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could talk with hosts about travel stories or life experiences in general! I am a talkative person, so I really would be open to having a conversation about anything.
