I am a student studying abroad going on a month long backpacking excursion all throughout Europe. I want to meet more people each day to learn about your city, go around doing shenanigans, and learn about what you like to do on a typical Friday or Saturday. I have found that traveling has fulfilled many aspects of my life that were lacking when I was landlocked back in the States. I find that each day I have an opportunity to become better and I don't plan on wasting it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet locals in every city I travel to this summer. I want to know the culture and get to know my hosts better everywhere I travel. I am also doing a lot of camping and occasionally would like to venture around cities for a small period.

Interests

I love the great outdoors; hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing.
I love to play tennis, smoke hookah, practice yoga, share a good beer with good company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so I am more than happy to make a meal for my host. I know both vegetarian meals and regular meals and am happy to make either one. I spent 5 months in Italy cooking everyday so I have picked up on some great recipes!

I love playing tennis, dancing, listening to music so I'd love to share those interests. I am always looking to expand my music library so we can talk all day about music!
