I'm a student at the University of Miami studying Kinesiology who saw an opportunity to study abroad in Prague and took it.

I had never been outside of the United States before this winter and I was excited to see life in Europe. I have made it my mission to travel all over the continent and gain worldly experience that I could never get from a classroom.

Leaving Miami was a tough choice for me because of how much I love the city and all of my friends there. However, I don't regret coming to Europe for even a second.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I'm a college student on a budget who likes to explore and meet new people.

I'm fascinated by every new culture I come across. My curiosity is boundless and I want to know everything I can about the world in which I live and the people who live in it.

Interests

I am an avid sports fan who has grown up playing and watching American Football as well as Football and Lacrosse. I love the competitive nature of team sports and cant get enough of them.

I am also a musician and have played the saxophone for 10 years.

Listening to stand-up comedy is a favorite past time of mine as well

Finally, and perhaps a bit cliche for a 20 year old, I love video games and spending time on the internet. I'm an avid gamer...especially if there is a competitive element to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well...I'm studying abroad in the Czech Republic.

But besides that, I was thrown from a whitewater raft on the most dangerous rapid in Montana and managed to climb back in before getting smashed on the rocks. It was quite the adrenaline rush. I was terrified but also very proud that I kept my cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook healthy meals and am always on the lookout for new incredible recipes. I'm hoping to learn about the truly traditional meals of the places I travel to and also to share my recipes with any hosts I may have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all of the knowledge of The United States that I have gathered from traveling around the country and growing up there. My favorite meals, the cultural differences, and the philosophies that Americans learn from birth. I love to chat with others.
