I'm a PhD student in cognitive science, currently living in Paris and moving to the US this coming fall.

I like talking to people, debating, discussing science and politics, and learning new stuff. I’m always happy to talk to a stranger about virtually anything, I love walking a lot and discovering new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered this site while being in Canada and I surfed in Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec. Paris too. I also hosted in Montreal. It was a really nice experience, I met a lot of great people and saw amazing things that I'd have never seen if couchsurfing didn't exist.
