CURRENT MISSION

Doing and seeing as much as I possibly can, and looking to meet interesting people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I worked for a big tech startup for a year after college, thinking I wanted to build a career in that industry. Still have much love for startups, but I hate the 9-5 life with a passion. So I started my own little web consulting firm and started wandering. Spent 4 months skiing in Colorado, now two months in Europe. Once I get my business built up more I hope to continue this lifestyle indefinitely. Life's too short to squeeze it in around work.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a good person, and then do what makes you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't had a couch since I joined, but when I do I'll be eager to host some surfers! In the meantime looking to wander and meet cool people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never hosted or surfed, but I've hung out with surfers when they've stayed at good friends' places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not a programmer but I have a pretty sharp understanding of most things involved in building websites or tech startups. I think one of my skills is explaining such topics to non-techie people so whether you're just curious or you're looking for advice for a project, I might be able to help!
