CURRENT MISSION Meet new people, see new places and learn new things. Currently focused on growing my business and providing meaningful work for my team. ABOUT ME Life on the road. 8 of the past 10 years have been spent as an expat. After a long break from couchsurfing, I am back! Used this for a year of backpacking through South America in 2009 and ready to start again... My quick story.... I’ve been living in Bangkok for the last 3 years working in private equity, I quit in Dec'17 and now work for a small tech startup. We have a semi-distributed team of 12 with offices in Bangkok and Prague. I bounce a bit between the two locations and work remotely part of the time. PHILOSOPHY Love trying new things, learning and living life to its fullest. Design a life you want to live.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything. I'm really just wanting to give back. I used couchsurfing for my first 1 year backpacking trip in 2009, and it really changed my world. The people I met, the experiences I had were all positively impacted by using this service. After living in Asia, I had a few bad runs with bed bugs so I got off the site. I'm back, please don't bring bed bugs into my place!
