I like to see myself as an Earthling that belongs to this world. I spend a lot of effort on opening my mind further everyday, and going away from the stereotypes I was taught of in my life so far.

I am a PhD student of Human Language Understanding at VU Amsterdam, and I am visiting CMU in Pittsburgh for 6.5 months.

I appreciate intelligence, weirdness, and new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that grass-root ideas like this are the most beautiful aspect of the democracy today. I am trying to support this initiative, and I am sure I will meet some awesome people from all around the world here!
