Salut, Spencer here. I'm 26, and in Europe for the first time. I'll be here for 8 months on this trip, living in Bourges, France. I've spent the last 6 years apprenticing and becoming a piano technician, but wanted to take a break and see what else is out there. I had been caught in a 9-5 loop and couldn't be happier to be experimenting with other things in life.

I've done some surfing with my girlfriend and have really enjoyed the experiences. Couchsurfing seems to be a magical little place. I hope to continue to share those with all sorts of people, from all walks of life.

I started playing ukulele in September, when I came to Europe, and enjoy travelling with that. If you can teach me a thing or two, thats awesome! Or if you want to play something together, even better!
