About Me

***** FULLY VACCINATED!!! *****

A free spirit! Book and sci-fi enthusiast (A geek if you will). Newbie on couchsurfing. PhD candidate at Duke University, Electrical and Computer Engineering. A modest history and art lover. Agnostic. Former physics olympiad contestant. Fond of readings about humanities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept of meeting new people, making one's journey more special by staying with locals. I first couchsurfed when I was 18, since then even if I had somewhere to stay I always wrote people via CS to meet and talk. I love visiting new countries and hanging up with local people.

Interests

Definitely reading. Maybe most important thing in my life.
Cooking, it is incredible.
History.
Listening to what is joyful to my ears.
Humanities.
Scuba diving, another world underwater.
Video games, I played countless of them. (Nowadays I watch YouTube videos more than I actually play)
