I'm a dumb student who manages to go places.

Country-side born and raised, moved to the big city for education, discovered travel and a passion for politics, international affairs, culture, and languages.

Also, I do photography as a hobby. It's not very good, but it's mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get back to my budget and people-focused travel interest roots. I've become complacent with spending $$$ for convenience when what matters to me is the experience and meeting and learning from new people from around the world.

Basically, I am on couchsurfing seeking out to find real stories to make.

Interests

I basically love the world and how groups and dynamics of power interact on a macro-scale. I love languages, diversity, culture, food, and experiences from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven from England to Eastern Russia through 25+ countries in a shitty car, raising 2400 for charity, and getting up to a bunch of hijinks in different countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit about international politics and affairs, despite the fact that I probably know nothing. I can share with you fun facts about languages because I actually love languages.

What I want to learn from you is who you are, what you do, why you do what you do, and your views on where the world is going and why.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you whatever minimal life experience I have, I can take pictures of you or your dog (or cat), and I can share hopefully interesting conversations! I feel as though I can talk about pretty much anything.
