Overview
About Me
I don't travel very frequently, but I enjoy the hell out of it. Up for both planned out trips and spontaneous adventures. Taking safety of trips seriously.
In general, I'm:
- friendly to whomever I meet
- astonishing at awkward handshakes
- would rather hang out and talk with 3 or 4 people than binge drink with 20 or go clubbing
- will talk for hours about science, technology, psychology... anything really
- don't mind awkward silence either
- mostly avoid social troublemakers
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
SURFING: On Couchsurfing to have a much more realistic cultural experience. I love the idea and hopefully can vibe with the locals. I don't even mind if host is busy most of the time, just a few pointers and ideas from host would be a lot.
HOSTING: Since the other 2 rooms in my apartment are rented long term, I can't host.
That being said, I once co-hosted a really cool Canadian guy, who is a host himself most often and it was a really memorable few days. So, I'd consider meets and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quit my cosy job that lacks innovation without a backup plan on Monday and then win local NASA hackathon with two people I met there on Sunday. That was week 42, 2019.
