Hey there! I am a second-year PhD student in Political Science, interested in autocratic regimes, digital authoritarianism, and political transition in Eurasia. I've travelled quite a bit in the past but it's been a challenge making it out of DC in the past year and a half with covid and everything. Looking to resume my travels to continue striking off destinations from my bucket list. Pfizer vaccinated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. It's always great to meet new interesting people. 2. Locals give better bar recommendations than google maps. 3. Turns out grad school is not the most lucrative occupation, so..
