Hi! I recently moved to California (Palo Alto / Mountain View) in late September 2024 for a new position at Stanford. Before that, I spent three great years in Durham, NC working as a researcher at Duke University. Prior to that, I lived in Charlotte, NC for six years.

I’m pretty laid-back and open-minded. I enjoy good conversations, meeting new people, and learning about different perspectives and cultures. Whether it's over coffee, a walk, or a spontaneous adventure, I'm always up for connecting with others and sharing stories. I’d really like to spend time with guests during their stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to add more vibrancy to my life by meeting new people and connecting with a diverse, open-minded community. I love the idea of sharing experiences, stories, and creating genuine connections beyond the usual routine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into a wide range of music — from metal and Latin to house and club beats — basically anything that’s got real soul and energy to it. Music is a big part of my vibe. I’m also a huge fan of horror movies — the creepier and more atmospheric, the better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked in a Mardi Gras parade in 2022 through the French Quarter in New Orleans — an unforgettable mix of music, energy, color, and pure joy. Definitely one for the books!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love digging into the conversational dynamics between men and women — it’s a fascinating topic I’m always happy to chat about. I'm also diving deep into the world of AI and deep learning, and I’d be glad to share what I’ve learned so far or exchange ideas with others on similar paths. Always up for a good knowledge swap!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a welcoming place to stay, friendly companionship, and good conversation. If I'm heading to a Couchsurfing event or somewhere you'd like to join me, I’m happy to offer a ride too. Always glad to share the journey — both literally and figuratively!

Countries I’ve Visited
