About Me

I'm a 29-yo entrepreneur from Luxembourg, but I currently live in and starting my own company in Mexico.

I love web/mobile designing and everything that's tech, innovation, entrepreneurship, etc.

I get along with almost anyone. I love getting to know new people and cultures and eager to share own experiences as well. I'm also fine with pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing for two simple reaons:
1. I consider myself a "citizen of the world", rather than belonging to one specific country. And as such, I consider it necessary and interesting to get to know as many people as I can.

2. As an entrepreneur in the early stages, I am on a tight budget. Every buck I save goes in my company "Visionary Labs", where I develop solutions to various problems of different places.

Interests

Web/Mobile Development, technology, startups, entrepreneurship.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a "music type". I listen near to every music, but most recent pop music isn't my thing. Also I'm not too much of a fan of heavy metal or hard rock.

I like a movies based on comics, especially Marvel!
I am a TV series junkie, where I watch many different genres. My favourites are: Breaking Bad, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Flash, Arrow, Friends, Suits, The Walking Dead, White Collar, etc.

I do read books, but mostly about business. My newest purchase is Elon Musk's biography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The probably most amazing thing I've done is move to Mexico without knowing Spanish and later found my own company which solves problems that exist in society. Our newest project is called Blckbox and treats personal safety.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what's supposed to go here ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If someone is interested in learning a language or programming, I would be glad to assist. I would also fancy myself a good startup consultant. I could give advice and strategy.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
