Overview
About Me
I am a curious and adventurous person. I spent a summer backpacking through Latin America, have road tripped throughout the US and Canada numerous times and have cruised through the Caribbean and the Baltic.
I work for a tech startup, designing math and machine learning algorithms to catch hackers and employees who steal from companies.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have couch surfed a couple of times, with friends, strangers I met on the street and people on this site
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The best was my first day in Mexico, I got off the bus in Mexico city and someone invited me to a party their family was having. It turned out to be his niece's quincenira which was the coolest cultural experience I ever had. I ended up staying with the family for 5 days being completely immersed in Mexican culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing was climbing the Grand Teton. This was undoubtedly the hardest and most terrifying thing I ever did. The story is quite long, but the short of it is this is a rather serious mountain that I climbed with a friend before I had any experience in mountaineering, rock climbing or even camping. The first time I ever rock climbed outside of a gym was us trying to traverse across the back of a 2000 ft cliff and then climb up to the summit.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn anything, and I really mean that. I want to know every fact and learn every small talent. Everyone knows many things that I don't, and I'd like that to change.
