I am evolutionary ecologist pursuing PhD at the University of Minnesota. I recently moved to the US and am based in St. Paul in the Twin City.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different parts of the world and learn about their cultures and philosophies.
Please be advised that if all you want is free accommodation please do not write to me - I want guests who interact and give in addition to take!
