Based in the Bay Area, I just quit my job as a mechanical engineer in pursuit of becoming a data scientist. I am starting a data science bootcamp in April. In the meantime, I am driving around the western United States, snowboarding, hiking, and camping. I love traveling cheaply, socially, and doing local, non-touristy things. I think Couchsurfing is a good means towards that end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel cheaply and meet locals, as I know that is a more meaningful and memorable way for me to experience a new place.
