CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A little about me, I'm a roboticist living in LA, pursuing a PhD. I spend most of my time between LA and Tuebingen (DE) for work. Hence I travel to Europe a lot. Before LA (USC), I lived in Philly (Upenn), before which "Ich lebte in Deutschland " and before which I was DC (UMD,college park), before which..blah blah blah (I'll save the rest for a drink).
If you've noticed the trend I'm an eternal student, I've been a student for as far as I remember. Hence I have no rules.

Apart from robots I used to go by the moniker "Primetime". I'm a former NFL cornerback and MLB outfielder..I've won 2 NFL championships with the 49ers and cowboys . I also played for the yankees at one point.. And if you are still reading, you'll probably have a baller time getting used to my sense of humor..:P

Jokes apart, I'm pretty chill and easy to get along. I watch a lot of stand-up, so if you can quote, izzard, chappelle, rock or hedberg.. We should be right on key.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Let live. Life is too short to get mad about anything or anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I'm in the process of meeting awesome folks and hosting other travelers. CS is the best idea ever, nothing like giving a nice person a place to crash.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I'm still new to the CS experience and this is my first time surfing outside the US through the forum. I'm actively trying to participate by offering my previous couch for an awesome surfing experience.
You need to contact this guy here for that :
