I am a second year undergraduate Engineering student from University of Toronto. Currently, I am doing a summer internship at Max Planck Institute at Hamburg. This is my first time living and working in Europe. I am a very neat, easy-going, and lighthearted person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling a lot, but I only heard about Couchsurfing after arriving in Europe. Because I have never been to Europe before, I am excited to travel around the continent and meet local residents. I am eager to learn about the history and culture of European nations. Couch-surfing is the perfect tool for me to connect to and meet people from different countries. (And of course, hotels are a bit too expensive for a student like me :)). I am also happy to be a host if anyone wants to visit Toronto in the future.
