Présentation
À propos de moi
I'm a 30 year old PhD student in cognitive science, hoping to pursue a career in research eventually. I'm originally from Atlanta (USA), but have since lived in Vermont, Ferrara (Italy), Boston, Belo Horizonte (Brazil), and now I'm in California. I play the cello and surf (very badly) for fun. I'm a friendly, open-minded person. I'm gay, and am always curious to meet queer people from other places and learn about other queer cultures. Would love to be shown some cool neighborhoods and/or bars!
A little bit about my research: I'm fascinated by language, and study cognitive reasons for common grammatical patterns in languages. (For example, if a language has adjectives before nouns ('red ball'), then 90% of the time it will also have objects before nouns ('The dog me bit'). English and other Germanic languages are a weird exception to this pattern.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I'm going to a conference in Bilbao in September 2016 and will be travelling before and after:
Barcelona August 29-31
Berlin September 4-11
Would love to meet up with other travelers to explore or find a local to show me around. Would also appreciate suggestions for where to go. Got any recommendations for fun gay/gay-friendly bars?
