I grew up and spent pretty much all of my life in the Bay Area in California. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in computer science. Thanks to my school's great diversity, I was introduced to how unique cultures and people there are in the world and this has compelled me to travel relentlessly since.

I'm a full time software engineer. In my free time I enjoy reading and picking up new hobbies. I'm always planning my next trip abroad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I love doing it alone because I think that is the best way to meet new people and get lost in another culture.

Interests

I love how technology improves people's lives. My passion is working on shaping the products of the future.
