Overview
About Me
Prior to March 2018, I was a full-time MBA student & corporate Business Analyst. After traveling to Indonesia, Mexico, Belize, and Thailand in 2017, I became infatuated with travel and life abroad. 2018 strengthened this desire even further, and I spent the firsts few months of the year selling my belongings and preparing for departure from the states. My first destination after departure was London and then to Tunisia where I reside currently. I plan to visit Berlin, France, & Italy within the next couple of months.
About my professional life: I turned my hobby into a career and now work as a freelance marketing strategist, graphic designer, and small business management specialist. On top of this, I still continue MBA / Cybersecurity studies and try to squeeze in as much langauge practice as possible regardless of my location around the world.
I'm looking for a place where I can live locally, cook meals to share, study, work, and crash. If I had to describe myself in one sentence, it would be -- "compassionate, mellow Buddhist looking to gain worldly insight through travel and make new friends around the globe."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have rented apartments and stayed in many hostels and Airbnbs throughout my travels, yet these accommodations have not provided the local interactions that I so deeply crave. So here I am trying Couchsurfing! Long story short, I'm attempting to make as many connections with like-minded individuals as possible throughout my travels. I sincerely look forward to being able to Couchsurf into many life-long friendships along the way.
