About Me

I'm a curious person, an introvert at times but I warm up quickly. I am a software engineer and travel the world while building technologies that can potentially change the way humans collaborate. I've explored south America on motorcycle for 1.5yrs and now currently exploring north America in a campervan. I spend one to three months in a country before moving on but north America is big so I'll probably be exploring on my campervan for a year or two in the US/Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet interesting people from different cultures to get a different perspective of life. I am open to meeting anyone but I'm particularly interested in meeting entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, artists and people in technology. Or anyone who thinks they are doing something that will change the world
