About Me

I'm studying computer science in Boston, but living in Paris for the summer. Would love to travel around Europe a bit while I'm here! I'm pretty easy going, love museums and exploring cities, but also relaxing and having a good chat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only just found out about this site, but I'd really like to get a more honest experience of a city by getting to know a local (or two). And hopefully to also get some recommendations of what to do in the city, rather than only doing the super touristy things. When I get home, I'd also love to host some cool people and show them around.
