Like most people on here I love travelling and meeting new people. I've lived in 6 countries either as a student or a professional and I'm an avid international traveler when I have free time. I play the drums and I'm outgoing, laid back, and always eager to learn about new cultures and make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting fellow travelers and learning their stories and sharing mine.
