About Me

I've been very lucky in life where I grew up with a huge family (over 30 cousins) and good friends. I've met many people all over the world that has enabled me to learn and understand their culture and norms.

I'm a proud nerd & workaholic that's not afraid of taking risks and always seeking an adrenaline rush. I'm a lifelong student and a curious person...I'm a huge motorcycle enthusiast and a foodie. I enjoy philosophical conversations and playing the devil's advocate.

One of my goals in life is to meet people all over the world while traveling on a motorcycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a good way to share experiences, knowledge, and a learn the local culture. Beats being stuck in a resort without knowing the local culture.
