I recently graduated from University in the U.S, and just moved to Chiang Mai. I work as a software developer, and am currently producing a podcast about young people pursuing radically different lifestyles and career paths.

I'm pretty outgoing and down-to-earth, and love meeting new people and having interesting conversations. I play guitar and I sing, so always down for a jam session with fellow musicians.

I love the outdoors. I'm a big mountain biker, trail-runner, skier, and hiker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get a local's perspective on the places I travel, share my town with visitors, forge new friendships, and expand my mind through unique experiences.

Interests

Outdoor recreation, food, dancing, music (making music, in particular), exploring new cultures, musical theater, and computer programming. I've also recently joined the startup world, and am currently launching my first company. Im also passionate about protecting the environment, using technology to stimulate social interaction in the real world, seeking out and bringing incredible people together, and promoting creativity as the number one driving force for positive change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I spent 7 weeks in Ecuador filming a documentary about a single working mother in the slums of Quito. The month I was filming was incredibly challenging and stressful, yet eye-opening and really fun at times. After a month of filmmaking, I took to the roads and traveled around Ecuador by myself for 3 weeks. The experience of traveling was amazing, because I was able to rid myself of the needs or expectations of anyone else, and simply live in the moment.
