I have just finished studying for my bachelor degree in politics, philosophy, and economics and currently going through the 'merh, what's next phase' so i'm trying to squeeze in as many travel experiences as I can whilst I mull things over and wait to graduate *whoop whoop*.

I love meeting new people and experiencing their cultures, especially over a beverage or some food. I'm always up for a chat about philosophy, technology, politics, the world and anything interesting.

I spent 2015/16 academic year on exchange in Japan and it was really cool. This experience has made me want to see more of the world, meet interesting people and do interesting things.
