CURRENT MISSION

Traveling through Europe for the fall!

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from UC Berkeley and I love traveling! I'm also a sucker for sappy and overly romantic music and movies. I love spending time with others and am always down to grab a bite to eat, play music, or to simply explore life together! Here's my blog: www.danielshimmyli.com

Always interested in critical theory, and political economic philosophy. That stuff is wild.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling to across Europe (Belgium, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Serbia, Dubrovnik, Venice, Madrid, Paris) during September - December!

I am looking for hosts of all kinds: ones that would love to spend time together and others that simply have a bed/couch for people to crash! I'm not picky about where I live, or who my host is :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Led a group of 40 amazing students at UC Berkeley to build software pro bono for nonprofits - https://www.calblueprint.org

Camped in the magical desert dunes of "The Golden City", Jaisalmer, India for 3 nights

Ate fried bugs (some were still squishy) in Thailand

Motorbiked across beautiful Vietnam cities

Was front and center on stage for a Gogo girl show in Thailand

Teach, Learn, Share

I love exploring music, guitar, computer science, philosophy, fitness, and body building. I can teach you guitar, some basic songs, and we can sing together! Would also enjoy teaching you anything I know about technology and computers and that stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share laughs, smiles, hugs, jokes, and good memories!

I can also offer some $ for utilities, help with chores, or simply spend time together through board games, or a drink!
