Hello! New on here. I'm a neat worldly architect, hoping to meet other design-minded individuals on my travels abroad.

I've worked and studied around the world, and now currently work in retail design in San Francisco. I find myself with too many vacation days at times (what, is that possible?) and need to find an excuse to get on a plane and venture out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet individuals who can help expand my understanding of architecture & design around the world. Also it's nice to really experience a place through the eyes of a local.

Interests

I am a massive photography-Architecture-Graphic/Industrial Design nerd. I enjoy COFFEE in all sorts of forms and methods. Good Coffee and Design are like a match made in heaven. I also like vintage Porsches. I own a modern one, and am currently restoring an earlier 964 model with my father.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My design eye and perhaps teaching them about the architecture and buildings surrounding us, that mold us.

I'm pretty polite and laid back person. I am considerate and thoughtful and if we do end up connecting, will be a great US contact to have for your future travels.
