I just moved to Jena Germany in May 2015 and am still finishing my masters in environmental engineering from Utah State University. I moved here with my partner Jake who is pursuing his PhD at the Max Planck Institute of Biogeochemistry. We moved from a 4 bedroom house with a fenced backyard and a big garden to a small 1 bedroom apartment with our two smelly mutts.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

We love to travel and meet new people while at the same time are poor students.

Interesses

We love to do all types of outdoor activities including biking, running, hiking, cross country skiing, snowboarding, fishing and love to try new things. I also love to play soccer/fußball and have played my whole life. I love to try new things, in college I tried out rugby, hockey, and the local dart league.
