👋🏻 Howdy! I'm curious, open-minded, and embrace a growth mindset. Equal parts social and nerdy.

🏄🏻‍♂️ I just re-activated this account after getting to know my awesome neighbors, who met through the couch-surfing community.

🌏 Lived in NY, MA, DC, Vegas, Jakarta, Singapore and Austin.

💼 Worked in a kitchen, asphalt plants, web dev, international development, sales, product, fintech.

🇪🇺 First-time entrepreneur, now helping people get dual EU citizenships @ ancestrypass.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of the funnest friends I know are/were Couchsurfers. I like surrounding myself with good, fun, interesting people with diverse worldviews.

I lived outside of the US for 7 years (Indonesia/Singapore) and miss the international community.
