I'm a American taking advantage of the flexibility my work in web development is currently by doing some traveling. I do a bit of tricking (the love child of gymnastics and martial arts), and enjoy reading, and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people, discover new places, and learn about cultures and languages other than my own. Also, I'm currently traveling and I hear it's the thing to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say that I've done much "Amazing..." I enjoy doing backflips and I've driven around more than 50% of US states, so maybe that counts for something.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share? Of course, that's what it's all about. I'm really interested in learning more about computer science and deep learning right now, as well as French. I'm happy to be a language partner with someone :)
