Hello! I am an American student spending the year in Brussels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just joined Couchsurfing because I think it will provide a great way to check out the cities I want to explore from a local's perspective. Guidebooks are great but nothing beats an insider's perspective.

Interests

I love to read, run, cook, eat, and to travel.

• dining
• cooking
• running
• traveling
• sightseeing

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is Anna "Karenina" and some of my preferred musical artists are Feist, Vampire Weekend, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Iron & Wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being away from home has been tough but immensely rewarding... I'd say that it's pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been studying French for quite a few years and it has ultimately brought me here to Brussels. I am always interested to learn about other peoples' life experiences and how those experiences affect their outlooks. I like to cook and make food with and for people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a friendly, easy-going guy with a genuine interest in traveling with purpose. I like to experience a place and its rhythms as opposed to merely sightseeing. That being said, you can expect me to be polite and interested in the place you call home and your experience within it.
