Hey! I'm am currently working as a Software Engineer in California. I love what I do but I also find traveling and exploring new cultures irresistible from time to time.

I've lived in a good number of places from Brisbane and Sydney to Boston, Beijing, Wellington, Xi'an, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, San Francisco and The Netherlands. My time in each place has been incredibly special and I treasure the friendships I have made in all of these places.

With my friends I'm usually rock climbing, hiking, surfing, cooking and camping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different places and seeing how they view the world. I strive to explore and celebrate difference.
