Overview
About Me
I am a tinkerer and thinker, who loves to explore and investigate. I am a physicist, engineer, and entrepreneur which is my work and most of my free time. I also enjoy writing/ playing music, photography, sculpture and drawing, hiking, yoga, camping, biking, motorcycles - and traveling, of course.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it will be great to meet other open-minded people from all over the world, especially while I am traveling, to learn about their way of life, culture, and where they live. It is always better to get travel tips from a local too!
