Currently traveling the world. I spent the past year living in Portsmouth, NH. Previously, I've lived in Seattle, Indiana, Kansas City, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Professionally, I'm a Software Engineer/Computer Scientist, but I can hold a natural conversation on any topic. I have a second degree in Conflict Studies and I love all things fine arts: photography (painting), film (theater), and music. I know my way around an audio mixing console, and I like making music playlists. I also enjoy spending my time outdoors and I love hiking, rock-climbing, cycling, and running. What better way to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse?

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

A friend of mine told me it's a great way to meet new people, and find cheap places to stay while exploring the world. So far, I'm not convinced.
