Just a heads up, I get 1-3 requests everyday. I do my best to respond, but I can’t get to everything. I’ll try to help, but it can be challenging sometimes.

I'm a 23 year old engineering student, striving to live the most fulfilling and exciting life I can. I want to see everything this world has to offer and meet great people along the way. I think the best type of travel involves a physical challenge (hiking, bike touring, etc).

I have recently moved to Longyearbyen, Svalbard to study for my Masters degree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that the most enjoyable moments in life can never be planned. The spontaneity of trusting strangers on this site provides the perfect environment for unexpected, wonderful experiences to happen.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are pretty varied. I love old country music like Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash, music from the 70s and 80s like Bruce Springsteen and the Eagles,

Science fiction has always been my favorite, with films like Interstellar and 2001: A Space Odyssey at the top, but I also have a soft spot for old western cowboy flicks.

I primarily read historical nonfiction focusing on the Greece and Rome. I also enjoy realistic science fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
