I am currently a senior at Carnegie Mellon studying Computer Science. My life has been a coast to coast US experience -- I grew up in Dallas, live in Pittsburgh right now but, will start a job in San Francisco next year, and have lived for short periods of time in Seattle, DC, and Colorado. I have a pretty diverse set of interests from backpacking and skiing, to ping pong, to computer science and philosophy. I love just talking to people about their interests and exchanging stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out about couchsurfing from one of my roomates who backpacked through Europe with the site. We've hosted a few couchsurfers here in Pittsburgh now and all of them have been a lot of fun. I'm haven't surfed myself yet but am excited to try it out on a trip to Japan, China, Taiwan, and Korea after I graduate.

Music, Movies, and Books
