I work 12-hour shifts on a floating tin can somewhere offshore, staring at screens, sea, and sometimes dolphins. During my off? I’m on land, living like I’m making up for lost time—hopping countries, chasing sunsets, and avoiding adult responsibilities one hike at a time and meeting cool people. Basically: work hard offshore, travel harder onshore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hotels don’t come with cool locals, homemade food, or spontaneous life advice. I travel to meet real people, hear real stories, and maybe pet your cat. Also, I like couches. Big fan.

Music, Movies, and Books

I vibe with pop music, fiction that takes me far away (even when I’m just on your couch), and self-help books that try to convince me I can be a morning person (still working on it). Movies? Anything with a good plot, clever dialogue, or at least one explosion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been lucky to meet strangers who helped me when I had no clue where I was—people who offered directions, food, or just a smile that said “You’re gonna be okay.” It’s moments like that where I think, “Yep, humanity isn’t totally doomed.”

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to share what I know about digital design and tools. I’d love to learn local traditions, weird facts, or how not to get lost on public transport. I’m all about exchanging stories, laughs, and possibly playlists.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free labor. Just kidding (kind of). I’m happy to help with dishes, sweeping, or anything that makes me feel useful. Also, if you’re ever in my hometown, I’d love to return the favor and host you—with a smile and probably snacks.
