I'm an engineer turned sociologist, who picked up certifications in personal training and massage therapy along the way... I *love* the Internet and sports, and I'm going to study one of them for my PhD!!

In terms of sports, I play are volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, table tennis, golf, and those are just my favorites! I'm a big fan of college basketball (only in the US...) and tennis, but I will very happily watch any sport. Feel free to introduce me to a sport I don't like watching ;)

As for the Internet, we would not be on this site today without it! I think The Oatmeal has amazing comics, and Pocket allows me to get through life without having to read all the articles at once. Oh, and my favorite YouTube video is iPhone4 vs. HTC Evo. You're welcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
