I'm a 21 year old male physics student from Waterloo, Canada. I'm taking a semester off from my studies to travel around Europe, mostly Germany. I'm hoping to get to try lots of different kinds of food and beer. I'm also hoping to find some people to practice German with and who won't mind my English-speaking accent :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet cool people who are willing to show me around their town. I'm interested in seeing things that most tourists don't get to see, even if they aren't very interesting. Hopefully they will also let me try and speak some German. I'm also excited to meet people who are interested in learning about what it is like to live in North America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about other places I have traveled during my trip and maybe some interesting souvenirs.

I can also tell you about my experiences growing up on the beach in Florida if you're interested in stories about stingrays, sharks, skim boarding, etc.

Or I can even just be somebody to get a beer with. It's better than drinking alone.
