About Me

I was born and raised in Minnesota and this is where I've lived (more or less) for my entire life. However now I'm taking a giant leap and moving to Germany to do my Master's at TUM!

After getting my bachelor's, I worked as a patent agent for a law firm for a few years and now am going back to school to change careers.

As for activities outside of school/work, I really enjoy being active, talking with people, and photography. I would have to say that my main hobby is rock climbing...and the first thing I'm going to do when I move to Munich is find a rock climbing gym to join.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I am moving to Munich alone, I'm interested in finding a few people to help me see the city.

But most importantly (unfortunately), I am struggling to find a place to stay when I arrive in Munich this October. I would love to have a couch to crash on while I find a lease.

Lastly, on a more serious note, I feel like the US has gotten a bad rap over the past few years. Even though I cannot honestly defend the acts of people who I'm forced to share a nationality with, I can help show that Americans can actually be charismatic.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a pretty eclectic music taste, so here is a sampling of what I listen to:

Streetlight Manifesto
Saint Motel
Moon Taxi
MisterWives
Glass Animals
WALK THE MOON

I don't watch enough movies/TV to list favorites, but I can usually be convinced to watch a solid production.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable experiences was visiting the Amazon rainforest. It was a super neat experience where I got to go hiking and camping in the rainforest. I also took a ton of photos, so if you're genuinely interested I could show you a few.

Teach, Learn, Share

I probably spend too much time researching photography and outdoor gear...so I could probably share a few factoids from those categories. Also I'm planning on learning a lot about coding in school if you're interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a fun sociable guy and I love talking to new people and getting to know them. I love to cook and also explore both urban and hiking and would love to go on adventure with my host throughout Munich.
