My name is Shawn! I'm from Connecticut, but enjoy every opportunity I get to travel elsewhere. I'm currently studying at the University of Nottingham in England for the semester and taking advantage of my time here in Europe by traveling every chance I get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to connect with people from all over the world. I enjoy traveling off the beaten path and exploring less touristy areas.

Interests

I really like going on adventures - skydiving, exploring waterfalls, hiking, camping, etc. I love to spend time outdoors and trying foods of all different cultures. I could also sit in a cute, obscure coffee shop and read a book for hours.
