Hello! I am exploring the world and finding beautiful places and people along the way!

I am an engineer by day but a writer and artist of sorts by night and currently working on writing my own book. I'm an avid reader, very amateur photographer (mostly of the night sky), hiker, philosopher, and more. I try to travel to places with rich history and culture while chasing new experiences.

I especially love learning about history, architecture, science, engineering, linguistics, philosophy, and more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people while traveling and hopefully make some lifelong connections, maybe even some to travel with!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be bad at photography and decent at writing. I can also teach you random things about computers and engineering.
