About Me

I love adventure, both the business and the social kind. Travelling is all about the social kind of adventure! I moved a lot, travel a lot, and always look for learning opportunities. I'm into startups and manufacturing, and might talk way too much if I get started. You've been warned! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best thing about any trip is the people. I hosted a lot, surfed more, and I am looking to host and surf even more! :)

Interests

Deep passion for motorcycles and drinking mate. Before starting my company, I was prepping for a private pilot license, and spent a lot of time following the world in the Economist. I will get back to these eventually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015, I left my home, took the Transsiberian, lived in Korea all year, met my best friends, learned to drive motorcycles, rode a 30-year-old Honda Win across Vietnam, hitchhiked-couchsurfed my way to Singapore, took a 3 day ferry to Kalimantan, and ended the year in India!

Teach, Learn, Share
