About Me

I'm traveling the world and working remotely for a year. This is one of the best times of my life. It's very fulfilling to learn about other cultures and meet people from around the world. I do this nerdy thing where I track my happiness and I'm currently at a 9/10. Life is absolutely amazing.

I'm:
- Fun
- Ambitious
- Curious
- A former pro poker player and tech worker
- Currently running a small shoe company remotely and doing enterprise sales consulting on the side

I love:
Hip hop dance
Meeting people
Hanging w/ friends and family
Reading good books

One of my favorite quotes is: "Our greatest fear is not that we are incapable. But that we are powerful beyond measure." I strongly believe that most of us are capable of amazing things. But it's unfortunate that many of us waste our lives in front of Youtube/Netflix or even living forever under other people's expectations. Fuck that, life is short! We should lead lives that make us the happiest and most fulfilled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people who want to:

- Take a walk around the city and talk
- Cowork
- Meet for a drink (bar, home, whatever. I love learning about people's stories)
- Work out
- Grab a healthy meal together
- Party
- Watch Avengers. I feel like I'm the last person on Earth who hasn't seen it yet.

Interests

  • dancing
  • working out
  • technology
  • poker

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I break rules, mwahaha. Here are many amazing things I've done.

1) I once played poker with a billionaire.
2) I’ve worked on a farm in Panama. News flash: I am a crappy farmer.
3) I was on a hip hop dance team.
4) I was very close to starting a hip hop dance instructional website with a choreographer from Big Bang (k-pop group)
5) Gave up a high paying job to pursue my dream, twice.
6) Taught my mom the Milly Rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn1mPEnDi-0
