Hello,
My name is Hassan Ali. I am a graduate student at the University of Groningen in Groningen, Netherlands. I am studying international relations with a concentration in international security. I have lived in the United States for the last 20 years, but I was born in Djibouti. I am a political junkie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in human connections and I love listening to people's stories. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be told. I figure instead of stay alone in a hotel room, why not take a chance and learn about another human being.

Interests

I am a political junkie.
I enjoy traveling.
I love languages as someone who is bilingual I find languages and how bilingualism shapes individuals.
I enjoy a chat over coffee or chai (not Starbucks, real homemade chai).
