I'm a student with a few too many hobbies. I'm currently taking a year out of medschool to do research into obesity. Aside from uni, I have a keen interest in languages, despite having absolutely no talent with them :p I've learned Mandarin for almost six years now, German for about 6 months, and I'm hoping to get started learning Swahili soon in preparation for a trip to Tanzania. I also love drawing and playing music, but don't spend nearly enough time on them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My family and I enjoy getting to meet and host people from different places, and I hope to do some couching myself sometime.
