About Me

I am a college graduate as of May 2015 and I love to travel. I have been to a few countries around Europe when I studied abroad in 2014 and I am back now traveling around with a student travel company called Euroadventures. I like to stay active playing sports and enjoying the outdoors. I love learning about different cultures and experiencing new people, food, places and lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to continue to travel and experience the world but not through the commercial hotels and housing options. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to make friends and experience places in a more authentic way.

Interests

I like exploring cities as well as the natural outdoors. I also love watching and playing sports. I like to go out and have fun at night but also can enjoy kicking back and taking it easy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, especially rock, folk and indie music. Some of my favorite bands include Kings of Leon, Led Zeppelin, Mumford n Sons, Bon Iver and many others.

My favorite type of movie is comedy but I can enjoy really anything as long as it is good (like most people I guess). Some of my favorite movies include Caddyshack, 180 Degrees South, The Godfather....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing I have done that am really proud of is skydiving in Switzerland. I was unbelievably nervous to go through with it but I just went for it and now I look back at it as one of the best experiences of my life.
