Hello everyone,

My name is Rinald and I am currently visiting Spain in the first two weeks of April to watch Barcelona play in Camp Nou primarily. I am traveling all the way from NYC and I am really excited for this experience.
Currently, I am a PhD student in Finance and graduating this year and going to work in Asset Management.
Prior to coming to the NYC, I lived in Germany and prior to that I grew up till 18 in Vlore, Albania (amazing beaches in Dhermi and Jala).
I like to read different types of books but primarily interested in history books and business books.
I am a big fan of football (used to play professionally till 16), swimming, yoga, and working out at the gym.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from different cultures and building an international circle of friends. It is such a fascinating experience learning about others' cultures, their upbringing and how do they perceive life.
