WHO AM I?
I’m a digital nomad on a mission to become poly-lingual, traveling the world and coding part-time to pay for flights, wine, Amazon e-books and espresso. Learning Spanish and German. My honorable friend, will you help me on this quest?

MY PERSONALITY
I love making friends, and I will try to make you my friend. Will you be my friend?
I’m a sucker for long conversations about anything. Especially if it’s about sci-fi, superheroes, philosophy, or art. But seriously, I’m super open.
I love dancing and I love to sing. I WILL go dancing with you if you ask 😃
I love memes and often come up with new memes on the spot. Many are bad.

WHAT TO EXPECT
I’m pretty new to the Couchsurfing game, but I know how to be a respectful, polite guest. I super appreciate your willingness to host and would love to offer a bottle of wine, a dance partner, or a personal chef (me) in exchange for your generosity. I am also super happy to help you practice your English if you’re learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to meet people and make friends! That doesn't happen so much at hotels. And I want to meet people who really know their city— who can shed light on the good, the bad, and the beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started an edtech startup with two college friends. We sent free children's stories to thousands of parents who couldn't afford books at home. We were featured on USA national news (CNN).
