I am a PhD student in Political Science and use couch surfing as a way to get from my home to a study site or conference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never couch surfed as of yet, but I'm interested because of being a poor PhD student needing to get to research site and conferences as cheaply as possible.

Interests

Guitar (alternative country)
Reading (some fiction, but mostly religion/philosophy books)
Wood Working (up cycling old materials)
