About Me

I'm a grad student currently traveling Europe with no plans!My main goal is to meet more people and get a better sense of what issues we're facing as people today. I have a super dry sense of humor and I'll laugh at anything absurd enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling Europe to meet new people while I work. I've been stuck with a few super sterile, industrial hostels in big cities recently, so I'd really appreciate getting to interact with more people!

Interests

I'm a grad student in machine learning. I love talking about how technology affects our lives and I'm equally likely to go on a tangent about how biased online ads can be as I am thinking about the dystopian future of online dating. Self-loathing grad student is a bit of a tired trope, so I've been embracing old creative outlets like writing poetry and music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the attention to detail and the culture put into food, beer, and cocktails of all types and I'm excited to trade tips with anyone that wants to share a meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to talk history or politics or cook. I have a bunch of stories about the places I've been, but I'm probably better at telling more mundane ones.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, United States
