Hello! My name is Gage, 24. I am a genuinely kind hearted person with a great sense of humor : ) I grew up in a college town where everyone is connected to the community and their peers. I know how to party(responsibly), and that a wave, a smile, and a some pleasant conversation will more often bring you a life of joy and fulfillment. I am interested in the stories that every person has to share about their lives and would love to receive and impart knowledge throughout this journey we call life. I would love to meet you and I won't arrive empty handed. Small gifts and kind gestures go a long way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I would love the opportunity to meet the locals in towns and cities that I will be visiting during my solo tour of Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Ireland this summer(2015). Of course I am interested in visiting SOME of the tourist attractions along the way but I know that the best experiences come from meeting locals in any community. I want to share a meal, some drinks, and a good time with anyone willing to host me in their home : )
