Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Why, by hosting and surfing of course.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I've hosted once and been hosted by others twice. All three experiences have been great!

Interests

Honestly, I'm interested in most things (in varying degrees). Given my field of study, I spend a lot of time thinking about politics and international issues, but I also enjoy listening to music, watching movies, browsing the internet, reading, going for a run every now and then, and most of all, traveling!
