Overview
About Me
I like change! I've been an environmental engineer and an AI developer, but I also have a linguistics degree and always want to learn and try new things. In my free time, I'm usually reading, playing piano, or exercising.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to connect with locals more when I travel. I like meeting people from different cultures and enjoy practicing different languages, so I'm looking forward to hosting travelers too.
