I'm a conversationalist first and foremost, and I am always willing to lend a helping hand to others. I sport an authentically contrived dad-joke style of humor, love card games, like to play sports or stay inside, enjoy the outdoors, and am an all-around jovial person who rarely gets down in the dumps about anything. I drink very infrequently, don't smoke or use any substances, and react attentively to the expectations of whoever I'm living with, so I'll have no problem adjusting to anyone's preferences of cleanliness or rules. If I ever take issue with what someone is doing, I'm great about tactfully approaching and calmly discussing any points of contention between myself and others. Side note: I love dogs with all of my heart. Not super relevant, I know; but important to acknowledge!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be coming to Darmstadt for about 7 weeks starting on January 11th, and I need a place to live from then until March 1st when my language course at Uni Freiburg through UT Austin's study abroad program starts up. The reason why I'm interested in Couchsurfing is because people make the experience. If I'm left alone, I'm simply not growing and learning as much as I could, and the spirit of a person naturally blossoms when mingling with the spirits of others. I would be thrilled to have people stay in my house with my fiance and I, but that's not in the cards quite yet. For the time being, I really could use some company in Germany - and I'd love to have someone I know after I leave for school as well!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about Psychology topics ever since I started studying the subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a great deal of interesting perspectives and conversations that you probably won't find anywhere else. While that may sound a bit self-centered, it's more so intended to express what people have told me very often, and I would hope to impart that same feeling to whoever I'm living with.
