My name is Richard and I am moving to Groningen in order to start a degree in International and European Law at Groningen University (rug). I am still searching for somewhere to live and would like to stay at your place for around a month until I find somewhere.
A little about me - I am half Russian and half German but grew up in England. As a result, I speak fluent English and good Russian and German. I am fairly sociable, enjoy cooking, traveling and love sailing (one day I hope to sail around the world).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a temporary solution until I find somewhere to live while I study and am not at all fussy as long as it is in Groningen
