I enjoy immersing myself in another culture, trekking through the path less traveled, and discovering a bit more about myself and others each time.

For a living, I am a technologist, business strategist, and social impact change maker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met some fellow travelers in New York who suggested I check out Couchsurfing. I would love to meet locals and hear their stories. Also meet those who can share some local tips and tricks.
