I am a junior at University of Wisconsin-Madison (studying communication and geographic info system). Currently an exchange student at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and trying to travel within Europe during weekends. Photojournalist & filmmaker wannabe. I have lived in China, US, Uganda and Netherlands for now. Happy to meet new people, have a meaningful conversation and learn about new culture so couchsurfing seems like a great fit. I'm easygoing, polite and respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling Europe during school break weekends so I would like to meet open-minded people from all over the world and exchange thoughts & travel experiences. When I travel, I would like to know the place from people who live there, rather than just simply doing touristic stuffs.
