Living in CDMX. I like to climb and be in the mountains, read, write, cook here and there, board games, meaningful conversations, genuine people.

I spent about 7 years in startups and since then I've worked on a farm, taught entrepreneurship in Ghana, and travelled through Eastern Europe for a year. Now I'm intent on making a living from writing.

More or less I am: Open and willing to try anything once (see, food: I've eaten pig uterus -- it was chewier than anticipated); Prone to drive/ walk/ bike down streets I've never been on before; Unabashedly curious about the world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To explore the world, meet people with different background and experiences, drink good wine with new friends, check out the local music scene (jazz, funk, afro, fusion stuff)!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Books: "The Master and Margarita" is still a favorite. I tend to enjoy lost souls or delinquents ("Journey by Moonlight", "The Monkey Wrench Gang", "Tropic of Cancer", "Savage Detectives"). Can't go wrong with Philip K. Dick. I don't care what you say but I quite like Jack Kerouac and Ernest Hemingway.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I built a venture accelerator in college that helps students start their own business and raise venture money ($30M+ raised so far!).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Learning Spanish (hoping to get passably conversational in the next few months) and diddling around with the ukelele.

Starting to practice Italian. Maybe Croatian too? I really want to learn Hungarian, Georgian, Albanian, and other lesser spoken languages, but I keep waffling about this.
