About Me

My favorite questions in life are Why? How does it work? and How do you say that in your language? I am very enthusiastic, love the outdoors, circus, music, festivals and yoga. I don't need a beer to talk, but might need a beer to sing. I just moved to the bay area and am working at Stanford.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
