Overview
About Me
I am a 24-year-old master's student of spatial planning - really similar to urban design just slightly different. Obviously, I love to travel and meet new people - why else would I be on couchsurfing? When I travel I like to not only get to the touristy locations but to get the local's insights and secret tips so I can best learn about their culture.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I travel I do like to get to know locals and to get their insights into their city - how to do it better than by staying with locals? That's why I am on couchsurfing.
