Hello couchsurfing world, I'm Matt! I've been living in Paris for the last three years, but I'm going back to the US in October. I grew up in Philadelphia, and I've also lived in England and San Francisco. I love traveling, exploring, meeting new people, science, coffee, beer, good food, lavender, music, books, movies, painting, etc. I know, so original :)

I'm currently a researcher studying cosmology, which is basically the physics of the universe. My dream is to be a professor so that I can do my own research and teach the youth of the world to love math and science.

I'm also an artist! If you're interested, you can check out my website: http://www.lewnareclipse.com/

Enough about me, what about you?
