About Me

Here we go, the sales pitch:

Self deprecation is a joy. So are red velvet cupcakes, sleeping in on a rainy day, Shazam, fresh clean sheets, a good pair of headphones.... You know the good things in life

Friends would describe me as a fairly decent, fairly funny, very geeky and mostly sincere guy but then again they don't have high standards for what's funny or decent or... good

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel places, explore cultures, meet people...there's so much that the world around has to offer and attempting to experience as much as possible

Interests

Being an engineer, new and emerging technologies take a big chunk of my time each day in what I spend learning about.
Books, podcasts and media on philosophy, rational and logical thinking (probably almost to a fault) and psychology, observing patterns in behavior and reasons behind why something is...well.. something, all form a big part of my life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uhhhh.....

Hmmm...

Oh yeah, of course.....

No wait......

Hmmmm...

Nope. Nothing :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's hard to answer this without feeling a little disingenuous isn't it?
But if you are interested in talking to someone with a passing interest in philosophy and psychology and pop culture, I might offer good conversations. MIGHT.

And I did learn that one recipe from a Michelin chef
