CURRENT MISSION

Learn to read without vowels.

ABOUT ME

I'm a post-doctoral fellow in math at the Technion. To my great surprise and delight, science continues to take me around the world. After a year in Budapest and five or six years in Quebec (and growing up in Houston, Texas, university in the northeast), I'm now in Israel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer my couch, rest my head elsewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of mine told me about it while couch-surfing in Montreal, and then I checked out the site. It looked great, so here I am.

Interests

Most of my time is spent between math, music, and languages, and I've (re)started learning to tango. What's left I share among my friends, hiking, canoeing, running, swimming, cooking, and hanging out. And eating ice cream.
