Hi! My name is Spencer, I'm a current university student from the United States who is studying abroad.

I think of myself as a kind, gentle, open-minded person who loves to meet new friends. If you share those same values, I'm sure we'll get along just fine! :)

Fashion and social justice are my two biggest passions, closely followed by food, music and writing.

I'm very active on Instagram so you can learn more about me there! @smbispham

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been living on a ship for the past three months with a study abroad program called Semester at Sea and I want to travel around Europe for a little while after!

I'm a people-person, so my favorite experiences are those where I get to make connections with others who I couldn't otherwise meet. This feels like a good opportunity to join those two things together.

This is my first time on Couchsurfing and I'd love to learn more about hosting as well (even though I'm not able to do so at the moment).
