I like to run experiments to test human potential.
Lived the minimalist, nomadic and entrepreneurial lifestyle for the past year: living out of a 20L backpack 🎒 traveling in Asia 🌏 and working on a SaaS startup (open.ly/platform)👨‍💻
Helping out with Slush (shanghai.slush.org), a conference for startup founders and venture capitalists.
Currently, I am on the road, in different locations every week!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

OMG there are WAY TOO MANY awesome people here 😎

Interests

I wanted to do something different besides going to a traditional 4-year university after high school, so I joined Watson Institute. It's a 25 people per semester university/incubator for social entrepreneurs around the world to start their impact projects in Boulder: watson.is

I want to bring open source beyond code to create a radical open culture in social entrepreneurship, so I started a startup with an Awesome friend from Watson: open.ly

Just finished a startup incubator in Singapore: antler.co

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer of 2017, I flew 13 times in 2 months. An epic thing I did was going on a solo-trip to North Korea without telling anyone. I snuck out of the hotel @ 5 am and sent some propaganda postcards to the US from Pyongyang.

Summer of 2018, I flew 16 times in 3 months. An epic thing I did was going to a silent meditation camp for 10 days. I meditated 12 hours a day and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done because I've never meditated before, but it was WORTH IT.

2019?? To be continued...
