I am from the USA, but lived internationally and finished my MSc. University of Oldenburg in Germany. Worked at the UN in Geneva. Lived in 4 countries and traveled to 35 countries so far and couch-surfed only a few times. I think I am a really nice guy, patient, open minded and I like spur of the moment trips.
