Overview
About Me
I'm a student at UC Berkeley who's into programming and tech, looking to build a future in the field. I just want to discover as much as I can and meet as many people before I have to settle down. And for anyone traveling from around France, I know a bit of French from 4 years of learning, but I'm not quite fluent.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To learn about and experience different cultures, and take in all the sights and experiences that come with them.
Interests
Love anything related to the outdoors - hiking, running, rock climbing - or entertainment - concerts, events, trivia, movies. Also an avid follower of international relations, and I love discussing issues in the realm of global politics, policy, or conflict.
