About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Growing community. Sharing as much love as I can.

ABOUT ME

I think my life has been quite an interesting one. I graduated as a mechanical engineer in 2013 then took off for 3 months traveling around the US. This changed me forever. I switched to working in startups, became an entrepreneur and got a MS in entrepreneurship to fill in some of the gaps shortly after. All the while every summer I would take off for a month or two around the US, the Caribbean or Europe and do whatever I could to afford it like hitchhiking and "error" fares. (Super cheap way to fly, google it)

After this I had another major shift in both myself and my career. I'm now an activist fighting for better working conditions of low wage workers, involved in the cooperative workplace movement and several other social justice movements. I make far far less money but I think finally have true purpose,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
