I grew up in Yangon, Myanmar, and studied in the U.S for my bachelor degree for four years. After I graduated in 2016, I traveled the world for a year to conduct a project on hackerspaces in Europe and how they can be adapted to developing countries. Currently a Ph.D. student.
I'm a very curious and open-minded person, always ready to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just graduated from college, and traveling for a year before continuing my studies. I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people from different places and get the local perspective. At the same time, you get to share your personal experience and backgrounds as well.
