Software engineer, amateur travel photographer, divemaster, conservationist. Been traveling for 3 years and I'm a student of life. I'm fascinated by any idea that challenges my view of the world and my place in it, perhaps to a fault.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been traveling the world off and on for a couple of years and always hope to meet interesting people along the way. It's always a great experience to learn from locals in a new place and to share a bit of myself in return.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite bands - Linkin Park, Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, but have a wide range of appreciation for other genres and sub-genres, from Bob Marley to Aerosmith and from Huntar to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I can enjoy most types of movies, but rarely stop to watch them anymore.
