Overview
About Me
Hello! I am a student, traveling abroad for the summer of 2016, interested in meeting new people and learning about what life is like across different countries around the world. I study engineering, political science and philosophy.
How should one describe one's self? Perhaps I will fill this section with how others describe me! Let's meet and learn what you think!
My hobbies include just about everything, and I like talking about everything from philosophy and mathematics to food and sports. I'm happy to meet up for a delicious meal, a few drinks, an adventure, or a game of soccer!
I am currently traveling with one other friend, who is curious about life in the regions we are visiting.
If you like to meet new people, learn new perspectives on the world, and have an exchange of ideas, let's meet!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people, learn about the world, understand what life is like outside of my own little bubble and challenge my notions of reality.
I want to experience life to its fullest measure.
