Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am traveling through Europe with a friend for the first time this summer. I would love to fully experience the culture by meeting and staying with locals. I really like meeting new people, learning from them, and sharing our life experiences. The best way to expand your mind is to share it with others.

My Interests
I enjoy studying and discussing history, philosophy, and politics. One of my ideas of good evening is an intellectually stimulating conversation over a few drinks. Some other interests include running, reading, cooking, film, music, and traveling.
