ABOUT ME

I'm a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Human-Centered Computing. When outdoors, I enjoy bicycling, scuba diving, being on/near water, and picnicking/cooking out! When indoors, I frequently find myself indulging in too much screen time or cooking/baking something delicious. I love to explore, travel, and just hang out/relax. I had an independent radio show in college and I make a lot of music. I also draw/paint and, once upon a time, fancied myself a photographer.

I worked as a software engineer before graduate school.

PHILOSOPHY

The older I get, the more positive my outlook becomes. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having my first cheese souffle turn out perfectly and riding horses in the Andes might be on par with each other. I hope to go on a long distance bike ride soon, and perhaps that will become the most "Amazing Thing Done/Seen"!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with your math homework or teach you how to cook a new delicious dish. I can teach you how to print photos in the darkroom, critique your papers, identify a few edible mushrooms, use assorted softwares, do your taxes, or teach you how to make a hip hop beat/dance music/play guitar/basic keyboard. I can help you make salves, tinctures, sauerkraut, kombucha, and beer.

You can teach me how to screen print, surf, or make a fancy dessert. You can help me improve my conversational Spanish skills. You can teach me how to play bass like a bassist (PLEASE)!!
