I'm doing my Master's now at UBC in Vancouver, Canada. I love student life, enjoy the university environment, teaching as well as learning. I can't live without traveling with friends and family, learning new things and especially foreign languages, photography, hiking and running.

I study urban geography and I love learning about the cities I visit, both as a tourist and from an urban studies perspective which I'd love to share with my hosts and guests :) I would also love to share my language skills and do language exchange or just teach you a few things you're interested in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people, learn new things and, as a guest, experience new places more as a local.
