CURRENT MISSION

Open my eyes to the world around me....

ABOUT ME

I am living in Dayton, OH as an engineer. I studied Computer and Electrical Engineering for 7 years, but have been changing my mind. I have pursued some interests in Business (taking courses, and BEING IN LONDON!). But, I may also pursue a career in politics. Time will tell. I am a life-long student. I see myself getting an MBA and maybe even a Law Degree.... time will tell....

PHILOSOPHY

Do as you like, as long as you don't infringe on the happiness of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled to a few countries and surfed some couches. I've hosted a few, but I usually have roommates, so can't really host, but I'd like to meet people at CS gatherings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Singapore was great. I could not find a host in Hong Kong, and I split my time with 2 super-great hosts in Rome. Another absolutely great experience in Barcelona with Jose. Nuno was an outstanding host in Lisboa... Yahya and Erin made my time in Morocco easier.
I have also been to a few group CS events in Singapore, and poker nights in London.
