CURRENT MISSION

To figure it out.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old student, currently participating in an Exchange program between the University of Cincinnati (my homebase) and Bergische Universitat Wuppertal. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to travel many places in my life time, and now im addicted. When people found out i was going to Germany and didn't know a lick of German they thought i was crazy but they are crazy for not jumping on the potential experience. If traveling has taught me one thing its to never stop. The world is soo big, and there are so many wonderful people out there just waiting to talk to you and share their life.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning or traveling. Try everything at least once, and be honest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch but i do have a floor, and if you need a place, I'm more then happy to offer what I have.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a CouchSurfing virgin, but i wish to be the opposite.

***COUCH SURFING EMERGENCY! Last month I attempted to couch surf in Milano, however, I was unable to arrange anything and for one of the nights i was down there i slept on the street/ in a park, and then when it got too cold and it was early enough the metro station. This month i am traveling to both Amsterdam and Brussels with my girlfriend. Thus far, we have been unable to find a host!

IF YOU ARE FREE OR KNOW ANYONE IN THESE TWO CITIES THAT CAN HOST US, WE WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!

We are both kind, fun loving people who would love to meet you and hang out in your city!***

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have many stories, but its better to tell them face to face.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I get out of college and start my own design firm. I will take one (paid) intern, provide free housing, free food, free transportation to work, and teach them the skills and techniques necessary to be an industrial designer. Not to mention personal my own personal philosophy.
