I'm a PhD student studying conflict! I love to travel and meet new people, though that's been getting tougher and tougher since I started seriously studying. I still try to squirrel away some money to go traveling during my school breaks though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to stay in hostels usually, but one day I realized that the people I'm meeting there are fellow travelers. I needed a different way to actually meet new people from the place I'm going to visit.
