Hi! I'm Dan. I'm currently a student at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm studying both Economics and Music Education. I'm passionate about traveling on a budget and about learning as much as I can from as many people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I figure this is a good way to meet people and travel fairly frugally.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book: Wizard's First Rule

Favorite movie: Probably Fight Club or Lord of the Rings

Music: I can't even be held to a single genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once defended a small village in Africa using nothing but a wooden spoon.

In all seriousness, the most amazing thing I've done is probably getting fairly far in a "battle of the bands" contest with my friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you speak another language? Are you part of another culture? Teach me about it! I want to learn everything I can from everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my affinity for cooking with you (either teaching you a new dish or just cooking for you), I can play/sing you music, or I can tell you why Terry Goodkind's knowledge of his writing abilities is actually a hindering factor.
