Hi there, recently quit my job working for a tech startup in San Francisco and am currently traveling around South America for the foreseeable future. I grew up in San Francisco and in my free time I enjoy live music, trekking, a good (or cheap) glass of wine or beer, and of course traveling and meeting new people. Looking forward to hopefully meeting you as well!
