CURRENT MISSION

I solemly swear I'm up to no good

ABOUT ME

I'm doing a PhD in game theory at Cornell but spend most of my time on various side-shenanigans. An introvert with a volatile sprinkle of extraversion. I enjoy meeting strangers and figuring them out, I guess that's why I'm on CS.

I think not taking things/life/opinions seriously is seriously underappreciated. Same goes for Avril Lavigne.

Probably the worst cook in town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting is tricky, because I have a couple of roommates and not a lot of space. I'll try to change the status to available whenever there is an opportunity.

The t-shirts don't lie when they say Ithaca is Gorges. I'd love to show a fellow couchsurfer around, so ping me if you're coming to town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I peeled an orange with my bare hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music: I play some guitar/piano/drums/kazoo (okay, who doesn't play kazoo?), and can teach you a few single-chord songs. Alternatively we can jam or get drunk and scream some nirvana.

Dorkland: I dispense math puzzles, teach Go and juggling.
