Description
Hey, my name is Barnes! I'm originally from the US but living abroad in Saarbrücken, Germany working on my master's in computer science. I love getting outside and being active (especially bouldering and snowboarding), meeting new people, and learning new things.
I'm hoping to use this platform to meet new people, participate in language/culture exchange, and find volunteer opportunities. Feel free to reach out if, especially if we'll be in the same area! -
