I'm Sam. I'm a 27 year old graduate student and behavioral health counselor. I also am an avid guitar enthusiast and fluent Farsi speaker. I'm passionate about learning economics and psychology and have a wealth of knowledge on various topics. I want to travel and learn from people across cultures while I'm still young!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
