I'm a recent graduate from the University of Michigan with a degree in civil engineering. I decided to take a chance and explore parts of Europe through helpx, so I've stayed with a few hosts and have had the pleasure of learning from them and helping them in terms of cooking, cleaning, nannying, etc. So far it's been a fun experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people and learning from them is one of the best parts of traveling, and when I have a home I hope to return the favor

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
A variety of music is always playing in my life, my most played track is Mirrors, and my top played artist is Stars.

Movies
I'm partial to the Disney Renaissance movies (Lion King, Mulan, Hercules), I love How to Train Your Dragon, and I know Lord of the Rings pretty inside and out.

Books
Reading is something I do miss very much - I'll never forget Harry Potter, but it's always nice to pick up something new when I get the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've built and raced a concrete canoe. Yes, it floats :)
