Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed while in England. I hosted people at Stanford University, although now I can only give tours depending on work.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I CouchSurfed in Cambridge, England, with Paulius Olševskas, and it was one of the best parts of my whole trip. I've hosted several CouchSurfers at Stanford and I enjoy giving tours to anyone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bar Trick taught to me by a good friend:
Materials: 4 straws, a lighter, and an audience.
Set-Up: Take two straws and put them together in a V shape. Briefly light the connected ends so they melt together. Now, place them together like an upside-down V, and lean the tip of the V against a third straw. You should now have a kind of three-sided pyramid.
Challenge: How do you lift up all three straws with the fourth straw. No twisting, sticking, or bending allowed.
Good luck.
