About Me

My favorite board games are the really complex ones that take hours to play. I collect hobbies, some of them include reading, chess, kiteboarding, and astrophotography.

PHILOSOPHY

Let go. Listen to your body, it's already telling you everything you need in the form of sensations and emotions. Stop planning ahead. Decide your path and start moving. Embrace Uncertainty. You are the only one in charge of your education. Keep a balance between mental and physical activity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm at a point in life where I'm pretty content where I am and are looking to inject randomness into my life. Couchsurfing seems like a great way to do that and help people in the process.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed my way through Austin, TX for a month. I stayed with Brandon for a couple weeks, with whom we planned and discussed the NomadPad, a network of houses for nomads. Really chill dude. Helped me get settled into Austin. I really caught his enthusiasm for new experiences.

I also CS'd with Tyler, who bakes WONDERFUL home-made bread. I have no idea how he does it. But he's so cool. A bit quiet at first, but a really funny guy. He also sold me his bike, which I used as my main transport around Austin.
