I'm a software developer who loves exploring new places, trying new things, and meeting new people.

Originally from the northeast (Connecticut, Boston, NYC), but moved to the Bay Area (San Francisco, specifically) in 2014 for its diversity (cultural and natural) and climate.

Always up for adventure, new experiences, and learning. Enjoy travel, the outdoors, staying active (cycling, running, hiking, and tennis, to name a few – also a novice snowboarder, scuba diver and aspiring surfer), exotic food, craft beer and cocktails (and wine, too), indie music and movies, cooking, baseball, science, art, design, photography, and philosophy.

Recently spent four months solo backpacking around SE Asia, Nepal and India. Such an incredible experience!

Since I'm still relatively new to this site, I've linked to my own site for more context and to my Airbnb profile for references.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I love travel and meeting new people, I thought Couchsurfing could be a great way to combine the two and also learn more about the local community that I'm visiting, whether in the US or abroad.
