ABOUT ME

2015: I am a statistics student at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. I'm easygoing, energetic, and have a generally positive outlook on life.

2018: I've been out of school for 1.5 years now. I'm a grizzled and jaded old man.

PHILOSOPHY

For now I am enjoying my life one day at a time with little attention to the future and some attention to the past.

Now I definitely pay a bit more attention to my future. Still trying to spend most of my time in the present though, since nothing else exists and whatnot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only been a surfer, and I'm really thankful for all the hospitality I've been shown by strangers around the country. When I get back to a more permanent living situation I hope to be able to give back as a host!

**update**
I've had the pleasure of hosting a guy named Joe that was riding his bicycle across the US. He was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can juggle, unicycle, and make a pea float above my face.

We can jam. I usually bring some instrument(s) with me when I travel. Also I make a killer rasberry-lime pie (thanks mom).
