Hi! I'm Daniel, I enjoy food and.... that might be it.

in all seriousness: I'm another college student who loves to travel. I love meeting new people and I'm really interested in learning about different cultures and languages around the world. I grew up with lots of different cultures surrounding me which is probably why I love traveling so much!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine recommended this site; I checked it out and really enjoyed the community! I'd love to help people learn more about Beijing and/or Los Angeles—the two cities that I call home. I'm pretty new to Couchsurfing but I hope that, when school isn't taking over, I'd be able to contribute more to CS

Also, sometimes the best way to experience a new place is to go about your day like a local.
