My name is Stuart Blue, I'm 18 years old and originally from Milwaukee Wisconsin (USA). I have graduated high school in the States and I will be returning for college next year, but this year I have been living in Madrid and working as an Au Pair (full time nanny), my job is coming to a close so the rest of the year I will be traveling all around Europe, trying to do as much as possible and meet some new life long friends. Also, don't be surprise if I have a camera near by documenting my travels, my biggest hobby is film making!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be spending the next 5 months or so traveling all around Europe, and I would really like to meet and stay with locals in every new location and hopefully make some life long friends.

Interests

My two biggest passions are film making and Kendama (a wooden ball/cup skill toy) doing both really calms me and I'd love to share all I know with my host! Also I love regional food, so I will need suggestions on the best local restaurants!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music as much as possible and I love all types, however I mostly listen to rap (old and new) and as far as movies go my favorites are Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, Shutter Island, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Fantastic Mr. Fox.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a trip to Peru when I was 15 years old and filmed a documentary about it, granted the documentary didn't turn out too well, but it was an incredible learning experience and it helped in fueling my desire to learn Spanish. I think that honestly I would not be in Europe this year if that trip hadn't happened.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really an open book so I am always ready to learn new things from all kinds of people, and I love teaching new skills/experiences as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm hoping to share new experiences and make friends with whoever is hosting me. I'm hoping that my host can help me experience whatever city I'm in as a local instead of as a tourist.
