Traveling the world and trying to survive grad school...

As of late, I've been traveling quite extensively for music research, but I occasionally partake in some recreational travel as well. (Who am I kidding? All travel is recreational for me.)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

My experiences couchsurfing thus far have been wonderful, and I value them much more than any stay at a hostel or hotel.

Interessen

Music and traveling, naturally. Other than these, I love good movies, books, museums--in short, most things with great artistic and cultural value.
