Hello! My name is Jack, I'm a 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Michigan dual majoring in civil engineering and environmental engineering. I have decided to take a semester off my studies to reevaluate my my future and revamp my perspective of this world. I'm respectful of all others and I take pride in being able to maintain a cognizant mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being where I'm at in life, I don't have the financial backing which is typically needed to travel. Couchsurfing could save me a bundle. Additionally, I enjoy learning from and about others which I imagine to be a common occurrence while couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month traveling throughout India during the summer of '16. Much of what I learned there has shaped my future aspirations and me as a person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd consider myself a jack of all trades, there are many things that I can do but I have yet to master one. With that being said, ask me anything.
I can share my experiences, insights knowledge and beliefs, I hope that you will be willing to reciprocate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unfortunately I'm not much of a cook as of yet so I won't be able to share any recipes that have been passed down to me. But, I am hoping to share good conversation and company.
