ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty goofy computer engineer with a passion for kickboxing. I love terrible puns, orange pekoe tea, and playing chess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a wonderful couchsurfer in Brussels Belgium and another wonderful couple in rural Bavaria. As soon as I get home (currently traveling), I am anxious to return the favour and show couchsurfers my beautiful city.
