CURRENT MISSION

I have been shown time and time again from friends and strangers alike, the meaning of generosity, and what it means to be a great friend and a great host. I feel that, throughout my life, others have given to me, through sharing their homes, their food, and the passenger seat of their cars, more than I could ever repay. It is my goal to not only repay them in kind, but to share that kindness and generosity with the rest of the world. With this platform, I am making an effort to give back to the community of CouchSurfing, connect with those who need a place or are willing to share, all the while continuing to explore more of this beautiful world.

ABOUT ME

I am very adventurous and outgoing. I spent 8 months alone traveling Asia, where I survived by playing my trumpet as a street musician. I moved to Poland in 2017, where I worked for a small space company, started my own space company (was not successful), moved to Italy while working remotely to work on my Master's in Space Engineering at the University of Pisa, and now creating new rockets and spacecraft here in Augsburg 🚀

PHILOSOPHY

I like to live my life with my long-term goals in my mind, however, never forgetting to enjoy the little things and live in the moment. I am never afraid to try something new.
