About Me

Hello! I'm an operations manager with a master's degree in IT management, and I'm passionate about traveling, meeting new people, and immersing myself in different cultures. I've been living in the U.S. for over 10 years now, during which I've visited all 50 states and explored over 30 national parks. Whether it's the serenity of a beach or the thrill of hiking in the mountains, I love spending time in nature and discovering hidden gems along the way.

My travels aren't just limited to the U.S., though—I’ve also explored various countries around the world. Couchsurfing has been a big part of my travel experience, even outside of this platform, as I've had the chance to connect with people from all walks of life. From spontaneous meetings with strangers to sharing stories over a meal, I’ve had some amazing experiences couch surfing. I’m always open to learning about new cultures, tasting unfamiliar cuisines, and exchanging travel stories.

When I’m not traveling, I enjoy talking about a wide range of topics—from football and cricket to history, Netflix TV shows, movies, and science. I can chat about everything from the latest match results to gripping crime novels (I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie). I also love diving into deep conversations about world history or the wonders of science, so there's always something interesting to talk about.

At home, I live with my golden retriever, whom I adopted from a shelter. He's an energetic and friendly companion who keeps me grounded after long trips.

If you're looking for someone who's easygoing, loves to share stories, and has a deep appreciation for the beauty of both nature and world cultures, I’m your person! I look forward to connecting with fellow travelers and sharing memorable experiences.
