About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm an entrepreneur who loves to meet new people, weather I'm on the road travelling or at home.

ABOUT ME

I'm always "working" - but I have fun so it doesn't always feel like work. I'm a creative problem solver, type A personality - who is passionate about growing entrepreneurial ecosystems.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in Karma
I believe that I can make a difference
I believe in people
Be the change you want to see in the world
Its about doing, Do More Faster

My experiences have been mainly on AirBNB, but I'm looking forward to more on couchsurfing and another new site called startupstay
