I am new to couchsurfing and a little nervous about the idea but also excited to meet new people.

I'm a linguist who researches endangered and dying languages, so if you're reading this, I am probably doing fieldwork on a language near you (and also trying to fit some diving into my schedule).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy new parts of the world more when I make new friends there to share memories with.
