About Me

I am a 31 year old happily married man rooted in San Diego, California. My wife (Tamar) and I both work in the tech industry and have recently decided to begin our first retirement and travel the world together!

We begin our adventures road-tripping through the US for 2.5 months (April - June), then take off for Europe (June-Aug), Israel (Aug-Oct), Southeast Asia (Oct-Apr 2016) and South Africa (April 2016). We plan to Couchsurf across the world as much as we can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife and I have been hosting CSers for the past few years (we each independently hosted as well, prior to being married) and loved meeting people from around the world, showing them our city and learning about theirs in the process. We look forward to reuniting with past CSers during our world travels and hope to meet many many more along the way!
