CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Worked in Silicon Valley for 3 years, then drove from there to Patagonia and half back for 4 years, set up a reforestation project in Panama along the way, and started a software company: www.kudelabs.com.

Want to do more traveling, always working remotely.

PHILOSOPHY

I love doing things that haven't been done before... want to leave a bug positive mark on the world somehow but also have fun. Hate consumerism, don't own a TV, hate shopping.

Don't need much to be happy, but value my time, we only have one life here (as far as we know right now)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had half the CouchSurfing Team visit at my place in Panama during their Costa Rica collective - great people!

Want to explore intersection of coworking, couchsurfing, and work while traveling lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurf with old friends in the bay area whenever I am there. Have hosted lots of friends, in China and Panama.

New to couchsurfing.com, but have many friends who have done this.
