Aspiring data analyst, dual citizen(USA-New Zealand), identical twin.

Just graduated from University of California and am moving to New York. I want to change the world, or get a good paying job, whichever comes first.

I just got back from living in France. I moved there after meeting a stunning French girl, and moved there without knowing a word of French. Now I'm intermediate level in French, and she'll be joining me in NYC. Life is all about taking chances, or you never learn anything.

I try to be as open and honest as I can, as that is the best way to learn things about yourself you might not have known.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Mostly to find places to crash because I'm pretty broke, but it also seems like a great way to meet people. I'd eventually like to host for that same reason, as soon as I settle down somewhere that is big enough.

I first heard about couch surfing living in South Lake Tahoe. My friend hosted many couch surfers, and met many interesting travellers that way, but I didn't think about trying it until recently. My girlfriend had a positive experience couch surfing in the south of France, so I decided I should try it some time.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am definitely a teaching type. I find myself often giving impromptu lectures on topics, and have to stop myself. I hope to one day become a professor like my mum.

However, I am always open to learning about anything, I have a wide variety of interests, and especially am trying to keep my French up right now.

I can share a six pack and witty banter.
