Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to meet new people in every place I travel, and get to know them.
ABOUT ME
I am an atheist, a feminist & vegan. I study physics and mathematics at McGill university, and I give private lessons to freshmen in physics and maths.
PHILOSOPHY
I go through life trying to avoid and solve problems. I make friends and have deep, interesting conversations with them. I enjoy spending time out in the open, especially at night because then the stars are out and make me feel ridiculously small compared to the whole universe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now I participate only by surfing; because I do not have a palce on my own yet. I plan on hosting intermitently, for every period of time when I have a place.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I haven't surfed or hosted yet.
Interests
I read a lot, fantasy & sci-fi, or textbooks. I enjoy writing letters and debating about philosophy or the use of science in every day life. I have a brown belt in judo, and I bike a lot, even in the Winter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I made a program that can detect what mistake a student made based on his answer (if it is the wrong answer), and provide suggestions for what to look for in correcting the problem.
Teach, Learn, Share
If you're ever going on a bike trip and there's a chance of rain, wrap your belongings in plastic bags, within your bike bags (or back pack). Otherwise they will get wet.
