CURRENT MISSION

To teach and to be taught.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student. I used to have a "real job", but I quit and took shelter under the umbrella of academia. It gives me an excuse to take time off and travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed and hosted many friends, as well as friends of friends. But I've never had a surfing experience with a complete stranger. Let's see how this goes!
