I just graduated college, spending my last semester at IYTE in Izmir, Turkey, and I have been traveling Europe since the end of June. Once I get back to the states at the end of August, I will likely be getting hired at NASA (though it's not finalized yet).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, love to meet new people, and don't have a lot of money. While doing the first, this seemed like a good way to satisfy the latter two.
