Currently studying computer science and economics in a small liberal arts college in the US. I can (and will) really geek out about Economics. I like traveling, seeing new places, and meeting new people a lot, and I have been able to do a fair bit of that so far. I attended an international school with over hundred nationalities represented, and I learned a lot from being able to share perspectives and swapping stories with people from such diverse backgrounds. Although I no longer attend there, I hope to be able to continue meeting people from different backgrounds and places in the future. Every place I have been and every person I have met changed my universe in a way, and I hope to continue doing that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend made me couchsurf on a trip we were together on, and it was the best part of my trip. I got to meet people whom I would never have met, see places and perspectives I would have heard of, and experienced things I would never have experienced if it were not for couchsurfers.

I moved from a very diverse school to a small town in the US, and I had a reverse-culture shock, where the lack of diversity in opinions and people made me miss meeting people from different places. Couchsurfing is one way to keep meeting new interesting peple.
