I take Go (the board game) very seriously

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I dont really consume any of these, if I do its only for intentional foreign language study. I dont have any music on my phone, just podcasts in Japanese, Indonesian, and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've SSHed on to several operational satellites- I'm basically an astronaut!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you Spanish, Toki Pona, and English (or also Indonesian or Japanese, although I'm not at a near-native-level fluency.)
I can teach you how to solve a Rubik's cube! I've competed twice in the world championships and twice in US nationals.
I can also teach you all sorts of board games. I'm strongest at Go, Hex, Y, and Connect 4 (about which I made a youtube tutorial series), but I am also decent at Reversi, Pente/gomoku/wuziqi, Snort, Kalah, Amazons, and plenty of others.

Learn:
I really appreciate speaking in any foreign language for practice. Bonus points if you use no English at all. Especially in your couch request :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will pay the favor forward and host others at my house :) I am also happy to treat you to a meal.
