I am a rising junior studying computer science and game design at Cornell in Ithaca, NY. I am a fraternal twin, 1 of 4 male siblings in my family. In my free time I like to get involved with social work and study national (some international) political issues. When I graduate I would like to at least get my MSW and perhaps take graduate studies in computer science. I am looking to get a job internationally once my education is finished :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
This is my first time leaving the US and I am doing so on a scholarship from my university, so I really can't afford to explore Europe that much. By couch-surfing I would have a much easier time affording trips to some of the cities I have been wanting to visit for years. Also, although I can't host now, I would love to be able to host someone later this year to pay the experience forward for anyone that wants to visit the US/New York.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I can vibrate and displace my arms from their sockets (voluntarily)
Teach, Learn, Share
I am prettyyyyyy good at English and can teach you all the slang that will amaze your European friends. I can also be a great wingman unless I'm attracted to the person you are hitting on. Some of my friends are drag queens. I am very flexible and will show you for a nominal fee. I snore quieter than the average guest.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can show you actually good American shows, because Friends is so old and why is it so popular it has a laugh track....... I'm also probably the first and last person from Oklahoma you will ever meet because the state has a population of 12 so you can ask me all your Oklahoma related questions such as: "Where is it on a map?" "What do you guys do there?" "Is Oklahoma like New York City?" "Is Oklahoma like California?" "Is Oklahoma the South?" I can also share the secrets of everyone close to me.
My Interests
Video Games, Politics, Social Studies, Computer Science, Foreign Music (British, Norwegian, Indie), Eating, Sleeping, Cleaning My Host's Dishes, Giving Amateur Massages, Filing Other People's Taxes (Properly)
