I am young open-minded college graduate looking to explore Europe and meet some cool people before I start working full time in September.

While travelling I will be working on my Android application written in Java and some web design jobs. It is a private social self-destructing geo location app. That's a mouth full but describes it very well! It will be interesting to share the idea of the application with others and get their opinion. I would love to learn from other programmers and meet people involved in the start up scene, especially Berlin.

Like most, I want to take a break but not completely disconnect from learning after finishing college. This is my chance before I start working fully again to travel and see what central Europe and the Balkans has to offer me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have to see and travel Europe on my own before I am settled more into an occupation. This will also give me time to work on an Android application start up I have been creating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the dunes of Qatar in the middle of the night during a lightning storm on my own. Pot holed caves in Switzerland and jumped off bridges (with ropes attached of course). Swam the rivers of different Swiss cities.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some people call me a wizard, other people call me The Professor.

Hang around with me long enough and you will be begin to understand why.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My computer science skills! I can refresh your PC or laptop so its like new. Clean it of crap and viruses and recover files if needs be. I am generally very good with any sort of electronic problem or error.

My cooking skills aren't Jamie Oliver level but I can cook some nice rice dishes!
