I am a mechanical engineering student from Oklahoma State University that is currently studying abroad at Loughborough University in the U.K. I grew up in Champaign, Illinois then moved 10 hours away to go to college in order to get out of my hometown and try something new. I think I'm very easy to get along with, I make friends easily, and I'm always down to try something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This Easter break March 18-April 18 I am travelling across Europe on an Eurail pass and hoping to see a lot of cities and meet people. I've heard great things about Couchsurfing and think it will give me a better chance to learn more about the cities I visit than just staying in hostels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a University 10 hours away from home where I didn't know anyone, then on a study abroad where I didn't know anyone, now a trip around Europe, mostly alone, but parts with people I've met on my study abroad.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation about the United States, and differences I've noticed between there and Europe.

U.S. Politics, what do I think of Donald Trump? Does Bernie Sanders have a chance (this seems to be the #1 question I get asked, and maybe my favorite to answer)
