About Me

I'm a lover of cities, travel, and experiencing the world's cultures! I have lived in New York City the past 5 years as a civil engineer and I recently finished my masters degree in real estate development.

I am setting out to travel the world this fall. I'm a fun, energetic, happy person who loves to explore the world. I love talking with new people.

I am a very polite and respectful guy. I understand that hosts have their preferences and so I do well in group/social settings and I can also be quiet and independent. I am very flexible with other people's preferences.

I found my love of travel in 2013, when I visited the middle east for the first time. Ever since then I travel as often as possible! I also find new languages fascinating! I have basic knowledge of Spanish and French. I would like to improve them as well! I also know some Arabic, but very basic.

I am looking forward to some great people and experiences in my journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After working in corporate america for several years, I want to take some time to see the world while I am young and physically fit. Also, I want to focus on some personal projects while I am abroad, including personal study in real estate, drone photography and language learning!
