Hello! I'm Harry, an American student currently studying in London. I love traveling and experiencing new places and cultures. Wherever I go my favorite part of travel has been meeting new people. If you're in the area I'd love to meet and share stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to couchsurfing but willing to jump in and try it out. I love the philosophy of making new connections and learning from people I meet.

Interests

I like discussing language, history, technology, business, food, politics, or whatever else interests you! I find that if someone is very passionate about something, listening to them speak about it can be very rewarding. If you're interested in it, I am too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love singing and am in an a capella singing group at my university. I love any kind of music with a strong melody and a lot of emotion. I've taken a recent interest in Bollywood and Punjabi music as well.

I like movies, especially historical or period movies. I also like science fiction. I'm not a huge fan of horror personally.

I always would like more time for reading. When I do get a chance to pick up a book, it's usually nonfiction, a biography or public policy based thesis book. I also enjoy philosophy and will pick up a classic novel if the mood sets in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm in the middle of a month-long solo backpacking trip through central Europe, meeting new people as I go. It's been quite an exhilarating experience to be completely mobile, living out of my backpack with no set itinerary and a simple hunger to see, hear, smell and eat new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

During a visit I'd love to share stories of my life and travels. I can take you out to dinner and I'd love to help you cook! I make an excellent sou-chef :) I'm also very willing to cook some simple meals for you if you like during a visit. My favorite cooking instrument is the sautée pan.
