I'm a graduate student who enjoys traveling, reading, and playing board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to learn the hidden places of cities and countries, and to meet cool new people as you travel.

Interests

I really love board and card games - the crazier and more complex the better!
