I am a 26 year old Master's student, recently relocated to Berlin Germany to study at the Freie Universität.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is a great community full of people who care for one another - exactly what someone needs when they are far from home.

Interests

I enjoy music and films, playing guitar, hanging out with my dog (who, unfortunately, is back home in South Dakota), reading, having long conversations with new people, learning new things from different people, exploring my surroundings, good beer, good whiskey, good fun, good food, climbing trees.
