CURRENT MISSION

Living the dream.

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I'm a third year student at Stanford University studying artificial intelligence, computational molecular biology, and music. Last summer I worked at Google as a software engineer. This spring I’m taking a break from school in order to see the world.

I am a lover of music. I play jazz piano and a bit of trumpet and am always ready to jam.

I also have 400 cats.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the dream. Have fun. Treat others with kindness. And more poetic than anything I could write...

"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." -Samuel Johnson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unlimited free hugs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve had tons of travelers stay over before, but I'm just getting started with couchsurfing!

Interests

Music. Always down to do anything music related. Play it, talk about it, listen to it, whatever (although, I think that's all you can actually do with music).

Writing. Especially comedy. At the moment, I´m keeping a blog of my travels (anotherwhiteguygoestoeurope.posterous.com).
