ABOUT ME

I'm an extroverted off the wall thinker who is passionate about new ideas, new inventions, and new pieces of art.

Make Virtual Reality and Augmented reality exposures at MIT and design events for design.

I'm looking for more ways to connect with new people from different backgrounds.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found about about CS after inadvertently hosting 3 people for a Detroit CS weekend. It was an awesome experience. I was so glad to find such a cool group of people. I have hosted 3 group of travelers in Los Angeles since then. I travel often and hope to surf couches as much as I host visitors.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I spent the last 2 years on the road constantly. From Detroit to LA to NY and back again several times (and even a couple trips to France in there). I grew up with 8 siblings so I think I just enjoy being around others and sharing space with others. Opening your home to needy travelers is a blessed experience/opportunity and I look forward to new horizons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost on Mt. Sinai (jabal musa) in the middle of the night after my camel decided he wanted to go back down the mountain. I was climbing around random rocks and pathways trying to find a route back up. It was the most terrifying and beautifully spiritual experience I've ever had.
