Hello! I made a couchsurfing account 8 years ago but I chickened out and never used it (it's scary to live with random people when you're only 18). Now that I'm older, I'm ready to give it another try!

I'm a recent MS graduate from Cornell University where I studied computer science. After graduation I went to Ghana to teach computer science and I am planning to spend ~6 weeks in Asia before I head back to the US to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet locals who can share their culture and lives with me. I've really enjoyed living with a missionary couple in Ghana for a month who treated me like their own grandson and through them I learned so much more about Ghana than I would have living on my own.

I hope to have a similar experience with CS! It's a plus if I can learn how to cook the local food :)

Interests

I'm Christian so reading the Bible!

I used to make videos of my travels but I don't think I have the energy to do that anymore :') My YouTube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielStabile1

I enjoy nature and doing outdoor activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
- I have an eclectic music taste and will listen to pretty much anything. Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Citizens.

Books
- I've recently been going through the Halo series on Audible. Big fan.

Movies
- Hmmm I watch so many movies this is tough... Maybe The Gray Man or A Taxi Driver

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with sea lions, turtles, and penguins in Galapagos, Ecuador!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - If you're interested I'll teach you Python (a coding language)! I can also teach you how to whistle with a blade of grass. I'm sure there's other things but nothing is coming to mind!

Learn - I love to learn about peoples lives. FYI I ask a lot of questions

Share - I can share about my life, travels, and faith

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you with cooking, doing the dishes, cleaning up... you name it. If you ask me questions about me I'll be happy to share as well. If you want me to bring you something from America let me know :)
