My first Couchsurfing experience was in the summer of 2015 in Dover, Delaware, attending the Firefly music festival. My friend Linda and I were extremely lucky that our hosts graciously accepted us so last minute without any references. Since then, I've been on CS :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get away from the dreaded "touristy" attractions, or at least get a healthy mix of locals + attractions.

Interests

Reading, obsessively checking on the news, drafting 'witty' Tweets in my head, thinking about how we know we're not just brains floating in a vat of nutrient-liquid or stuck in the matrix...

• festivals
• news
• reading
• music
• international relations
• study abroad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced weather below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (I swear this is an accomplishment where I'm from)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're wondering about Iran these days, I've been there and I can tell you it's not what you think! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Insight on the day's events, a good political discussion, (semi-) funny jokes, random linguistic facts from taking Latin for 4 years, semi-intellectual discussion of philosophical problems
