About Me

I received my bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience, Chemistry and Computer Science. I worked in corporate services as a software developer but I resigned because I’ve always had a burning desire to travel and experience all the countries in the world.

Since I still do contract work while traveling I usually stay at least one week in a city. I’m looking to enjoy as much as each city has to offer during my limited time. And I’m always excited to learn a new lesson from every person I meet.

I’m usually quiet when it comes to small talk but can get caught in deep discussions about science or philosophy for hours.

I’m a problem solver and guider at heart so I enjoy discussing possible solutions to tough problems and helping people whenever I can.
