My wife and I are expats from PA, USA currently living in Nurnberg, Germany, where I'm attending a master's program in Global Change Ecology. Used to work for the National Park Service as a ranger. Before moving to Europe, my wife and I converted a hi-top van and lived out of it in Rocky Mountain National Park and Cape Hatteras National Seashore where I was working.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're living in Germany for the next two years and would love to travel around Europe and meet cool people (and save as much money on travel as possible!)
