About Me

A couple of years ago, my family did a white elephant New Years Resolution exchange and I got, "Do 30 things you're scared of and record them." That was a start of a wonderful journey of new jobs, sky-diving, crowd-surfing, dancing and more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since the above mentioned utopia doesn't exist in one place, I need to travel to get to see it all. I think the only truly enjoyable traveling is one that learns and shares from different cultures. Couchsurfing is the best way to do that.

Interests

I'm passionate about social innovation and I'm always curious to learn something new and try something better.

  • dancing
  • hiking
  • rock climbing
  • mountain biking
  • ultimate frisbee
  • improv
  • hammocking

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty chill about music because music is special to me when someone shares what they care about with me. Once I got a two day passionate lecture and introduction to rap music from my buddy while roadtripping in Iceland and finally came to like rap a lot more than I did before. So I'm chill from the Script to Florence and the Machine to Kanye to Yo Yo Ma.
