Hi, I'm Tim and I'm new to Couchsurfing!

I'm a Portland, OR native who's on assignment in Germany Jan 2017-Aug 2017. I'm a mechanical engineering by profession but find my true passion in coaching and teaching.

Back home I coach a water polo team and am an avid soccer fan. I follow the Portland Timbers and Thorns religiously and am excited to see some amazing soccer in Europe. I recharge by going on vacation to visit friends and going to music festivals. I also love to go hiking and explore the great outdoors. At the end of the day I love sitting down with friends and drinking beer.

While in Europe I hope to meet many amazing people and build some friendships! Let's go do something exciting!
