I’m deeply curious about the world and the people in it. Currently backpacking around the globe to visit 21 countries over four months.

Other details about me...

I studied electrical engineering in university, work in management consulting, and have tried a bunch of different things in an attempt to find what I’m passionate about. Over the last few years, I’ve traveled a lot, met an amazing girl, and learned so much about myself and what I want out of life.

I like all the standard stuff (Netflix, extended brunches, Game of Thrones, the start of spring, settling down with a good thick book), but I also like camping, live music, poetry, and board games.

Overall, I'm easy-going and genuinely want to hear people’s story and understand how they see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently embarking on a backpacking trip to circumnavigate the earth over-land. In March, I left Philadelphia, PA in the US and am heading west until I make it the long way around.

The goal? Immerse myself in as many different places I can find, hear a multitude of stories, and explore my professional passion, manufacturing, all around the world. I'll be touring factories all over the globe and trying to understand the future of manufacturing. Where and how things are made has always interested me, and I'd like to see it up close.

With a 4 month expedition, I made a rule to always couchsurf if possible. I genuinely want to meet folks, be immersed in their communities, and get out there and interact. This is what travel means to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share adventures from my round-the-world trip. If interesting, I also consult on strategy and operations for large companies and am fairly tech savvy. Currently an aspiring writer.

I'd love to hear what gets you excited about life and learn anything you're willing to teach!
