Happiness is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it but only you can feel its warmth.

I'm lifelong student--always trying to learn new things. I just graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but instead of looking for work this summer I am traveling around Europe. I play football (soccer), surf, ski, I try to make art.., i play the guitar, and I am almost always listening to music. Learning things, beer, family and friends are my top priorities.

I fucking hate Donald Trump... had to clear the air.

I couchsurfed 5 times in Europe this summer (2 references only, but there were really 5 different, great people who were somehow related to couchsurfing that I stayed with) and I would like to try to give back to the site that made my time on the road unequivocally great. I live with my parents, brother, cousin, and dog Murphy in a very small town one hour north of Boston. If you are interested in staying let me know as I will likely be living here for 3 months then moving to Vermont in January. Really, I'm just curious to see if I will get any requests in the area. Rolling the dice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just like meeting people that like meeting people.
