Hi! I'm Patrick and I'm studying history at the Ohio State University. I hope to become a diplomat, but for now I'm content exploring the world. You can usually find me reading a book, at the pool, feasting on a delicious taco, and plotting my next adventure. Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the opportunity to meet people from all over in hostels, and I'd like to take advantage of that opportunity through a tight-knit community. Plus, the best way to get to know a city is to do as the locals do!

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I love Florence + The Machine, Lorde, St. Lucia, Ryn Weaver, and Jain. I love all kinds of books, but typically lean towards sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built a mobile food bank that feeds 100 people a week!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of experience with public speaking and would be happy to help with presentation style. I also can edit any writings or presentations as requested. I know quite a bit about 20th century conflicts and decolonization, as well as modern international affairs topics, and try to make history and policy engaging and accessible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An enthusiasm to learn and experience with others and an optimistic attitude.
