I am a PhD student in Design with a focus on Architectural History. I am traveling to Europe this summer to study architectural history, walk the Camino de Santiago, and begin writing my dissertation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to be in Europe for 2 months, traveling non stop, I am looking for a place just to rest a bit between rushing between stops. I need to spend some of this time writing and will be leaving every day to spend time in coffee shops and libraries around Paris. I would love to get to know a local who can tell me the good places around the city and also if they have any interest in the history of the city, to learn it from a local!
