About Me

I am a scientist who just graduated with his PhD and loves new experiences and meeting new people! I especially love finding and making delicious food and learning about local culinary traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every country in the world has so much history — and the history of its people can be so different than the national history we learn in classrooms. I’m on couchsurfing because I want to learn history and current events from real people!
