CURRENT MISSION

To learn and continue to improve my language skills

ABOUT ME

Well I am currently doing my undergrad at Wabash College. I grew up on a dairy farm in a small Swiss-Amish community in rural Indiana. I strive everyday to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind! I am preparing to study abroad in Switzerland and I look forward to the opportunity. After graduation, I hope to either teach at the college level, work for an international company, go into mission work or maybe all three!! I look forward to getting to meet and know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am really quite new to this whole surfing thing. A good friend of mine from Vienna told me about it and so I thought I would give it a whirl! Right now I am just in "surf & search" mode and trying to get a little bit of experience as I make new adventures in my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm quite new to the whole couchsurfing experience, but enough friends of mine have recommended it, that I am ready to give it a try!

Interests

I really have a wide variety of interests: reading, going on walks, being with friends, and listening to music (I particularly enjoy acapella). I find milking cows to be relaxing (ya, I know that's kind of weird but that's what you get with a farmer's boy :)) I also like playing volleyball, euchre, and a little known card game called "Dutch Blitz".

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I listen mostly to acapella music. I know it sounds boring, but I find it to be encouraging and relaxing at the same time! Movies I really don't watch because in my opinion, there isn't many movies that are worth watching. Book-wise, I enjoy reading books about history. The book I read the most is the Bible.
