About Me

I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan. It's a nice little place! Michigan's a great state full of hidden gems that are overshadowed by all the bad news that keeps coming out of Detroit. While it was a great place to be raised, it's a small place and I left as soon as I was out of high school. I've been moving around all over the place for the past decade finding all the adventures that I had hoped that I would. The next big thing for me, now that I'm out of the Army, is to be here in Texas working on my master's degree in Transportation Engineering. Who knows what comes after that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and meet lots of interesting people. Also, I would love to get a local's perspective on the places where I go!

Music, Movies, and Books

Like any kind of music from folk to pop; read anything from Jack Reacher to Jack London. I played in a rock cover band when I was living in South Carolina; it was a blast and now I'm looking for people to play with in Texas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my first computer game when I was eleven : P

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people with whom I can practice my Spanish or my German. It would also be lovely if we could make some music together and share our different styles of playing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ummmm, it's Austin, so whatever you're looking for you won't have any issues finding things to do.
