I’m a programmer based in California who enjoys traveling, exploring cities, and meeting people from different backgrounds. When I travel, I like to stay active - walking through neighborhoods, finding good spots, and getting a feel for what a place is actually like beyond the usual tourist areas. I’ve traveled across the U.S. and internationally (Colombia, Taiwan, Singapore, parts of Asia), and one of my favorite experiences was riding a motorbike across Taiwan from Taipei to Kenting - amazing scenery the whole way. I’m pretty independent when traveling - usually out exploring during the day - but I’m always up for hanging out, grabbing food if you have a favorite place, or having a good conversation if it lines up. Outside of travel, I’m into storytelling, staying active, web development and working on projects I’m passionate about.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To connect with people and experience cities in a more real, local way. I enjoy meeting interesting people, hearing different perspectives, and sharing stories. Whether it’s a short stay or just grabbing a coffee, I value genuine connections over just passing through.
Music, Movies, and Books
I’m pretty open—I like a mix of things depending on the mood. Music: EDM, Bollywood, chill electronic Movies: Strong stories > big budgets (both Hollywood & international) Books: Currently into writing, storytelling, and character/world-building
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Snowboarding for the first time - equal parts amazing views and falling flat on my face 😄 Wrote over 500 comic strips by myself
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share insights on programming, building projects, and what I’ve learned from traveling. Always interested in learning about different cultures, perspectives, and how people live day-to-day in different places. Love exercise, meal prepping, eating healthy, and learning.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good conversation, travel stories, and an easygoing, respectful presence. I’m easygoing, clean, and low-maintenance - respectful of space, house rules, and your time. I’m usually independent, but happy to hang out, grab food, or explore together if it fits your schedule. I enjoy exchanging ideas - whether it’s travel, programming, or just different perspectives - and I’m always glad to contribute in small ways, like bringing food, helping out, or simply keeping things smooth and comfortable.
