CURRENT MISSION

peering out of my deadlight looking for another wandering like me

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher at a university and a PhD student! I love to eat, travel the world, learn languages, and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Meet beautiful people that you'll probably never see again but you'€™re glad you met them anyways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This has been the best way to get integrated in a city so far! I can only hope to pay it forward and host others in my city when I return!
