CURRENT MISSION

Travel until getting a job sounds like fun.

PHILOSOPHY

After being pretty into machines, logic, and science for awhile, I'm taking a break from that mess. They have their time and place. At the moment, I'm more into dancing, making jokes, playing ping pong, running, religion, and dreaming about music. I don't do any of those things well, but I do my best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Starting on May 13th and for the fifty following days, I traveled around Europe. During that period of time I met many people, but none as interesting and cool as the people I met on Couchsurfing. Really. Consistently, the highlights of my trip were found through Couchsurfing. Hostels are okay at best, and they get exhausting (it usually doesn't take that long for me). As far as I'm concerned, Couchsurfing is the only way to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nasta and Vassilis in Thessaloniki (great!)
Özge in Istanbul (magical.)
Claudiu in Bucharest (cool.)
Julis in Budapest (amazing.)
Magnus in Vienna (short.)
Hung in Lisbon (too short.)
Anna in Barcelona (dancing.)
Mathieu in Montreal (whirlwind.)

Teach, Learn, Share

In college, I worked as a math tutor, helping students out with Calculus, Linear Algebra, Set Theory, Probability, and a variety of other topics. Although I did get paid, I can honestly say I quite enjoy talking about and figuring out math problems. So if I happen to be staying with you or you with me and you need any help with math, from basic to kinda hard stuff, I would love to help you, or if it's too hard, console you.
