Hello! My name is Peter. I'm a recent graduate of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa after studying sociology for 3 years. Iowa is where I grew up, but I love traveling and exploring new places. In August, I will start studying architecture in a masters program back in the states, but before then, I’ll be traveling for w while! At the moment, I’m spending 4 weeks in Rome (Jan 22-Feb 20). Sometimes I’m a bit quiet and shy, but I'm interested in meeting new people from all sorts of different backgrounds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s an amazing way to meet people from all over the world.
