What I am like:
A very nerdy extrovert! Did my PhD in math, now working on making artificial intelligence safe. My other big passion is singing and at the moment I am writing my own musical. :D. It's about a startup creating a rogue AI. You can see details about me on my website: stephanw.net

If you are interested in musicals, creative writing, analysing pop culture, artificial intelligence, board games, logical puzzles or digestive health then we have a lot to talk about.

I am looking for people to hang out with, give me insight into their live and the lessons they learned, what they are passionate about, what their favourite spots to hang out are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to get to know a place is talking to people that live there.
If I have the opportunity to stay with someone who can help me get around the city, maybe make a new friend, with whom I can share travel stories, why would I miss that?

at the moment I want to discover new cities and see how people live there. Museums, theatre, and exhibitions is something I enjoy as well.

Interests

I like to bike around the city, singing together with other people, karaoke.

I like to invent background stories for random people we see on the street.
