Hola amigos!

My name's Wes and I'm a 24-year-old American student living and studying in Hamburg, Germany. I've been living abroad for almost one year now and it's opened my eyes to traveling and exploring different cultures. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier with my decision!

I was born in New York City but raised in Virginia - which is where I got my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering. I worked as a project engineer and saved up for a few years before deciding to call it quits and starting a new life in Germany as a grad student. It's been a helluva ride so far, and I've only been to a hand full of places, but I'm hoping to meet as many global citizens as possible with the help of the Couch Surfing community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet fellow global citizens
Venturing off the beaten path
Live naturally

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Book: The Alchemist, but I love reading history

Favorite Music: anything with rhythm... Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Electro, Reggae, Old School Rock, Motown. If it's live music, then I'll enjoy it regardless!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back-to-back state soccer (football) championships

What I Can Share with Hosts

For starters, I can cook up a mean, Southern-style American breakfast. I also fancy making tacos.

I bring a positive attitude and open mind wherever I'm going, and enjoy sharing good vibes. Whether it be over good food, good music, or great conversations.

And if that doesn't work, I'm keen to buy a nice 6-pack and bottle of wine 😄
