I live on the edge of the jungle and spend my time time mapping it. I do a lot of trail running and mountain biking. At work I help startups develop their strategy and find their first million customers. I enjoy good conversation and have read a couple of books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't talk to many people and Couchsurfing is a good way to talk to real people. i.e. not over a skype link to LA or New York.
