About Me

I'm an Engineering Manager and a Father of an amazing 6 year old boy. I play soccer daily and feed my soul all types of music. I once read a book titled, "Search Inside Yourself", that taught me the amazing benefits of meditation and introduced me to the world of mindfulness and emotional intelligence. I am who I am today in great part due to what that book has taught me.

I once made the mistake of living to work, but gratefully I learned to work to live. I work hard, but play even harder - that's essentially my MO.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Science has taught us that because of how the human brain processes experiences, we know that we only truly enrich our lives through unique experiences that create episodic memories. This is the basis of my passion and drive to travel, meet diverse people and immerse myself into different cultures.

I love to live and learn through sharing ideas and experiences with the people I meet - that all helps us grow as humans and Couchsurfing makes that feasible for all of us.
