Curious about the world and the people that inhabit it.

Things I like: travel, learning about different cultures -- preferably first-hand, (card) games of all kinds, languages
Things I'm passionate about: physics, math, books, piano
Things I couldn't live without: (classical) music, beer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) To get a glimpse into the cultures of places I visit
2) To meet new people
3) I'm a poor student
