Hey everyone, Jonathan here! I'm a computer engineer with a passion for education and a serious case of wanderlust. I've explored a handful of countries and cultures, and now I'm all about keeping the adventure alive through Couchsurfing.

When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, reading, or listening to fascinating conversations. I love swapping stories and sharing what I know, whether it's about mathematics, science, politics, or the social side of education.

Just a heads up, I'm not currently able to host anyone because my current spot is tiny. However, I'm always up for a good chat and sharing experiences, even if it's not in person! Looking forward to connecting with you all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to extend my global journey of discovery, connect with other cultures, share experiences, and learn from fellow adventurers around the world.
