Overview
About Me
Took a long hiatus on CS and I thought I'd give it one more try.
I am an avid runner, movie goer, traveler; I like coffee shops, bookstores, museums; I appreciate warm hearts, intelligent minds, soulful conversations. I am a passionate introvert.
I was a data scientist at a tech company in San Francisco for several years, then I quit because it bores me and scares me to do the same thing forever. Right now I am on a long journey to explore what else life has to offer, moving from place to place and looking for inspirations.
If you want to stay with me, mention the word "livinglow" in your request, tell me why I should host you and what's your plan in town. You should also note that I can only host one traveler at a time and three nights maximum.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's an understatement to say that Couchsurfing has changed me life. I learned a lot from all the people I have hosted and I learned a lot about myself along the way. Couchsurfing to me is a lot more than a free couch, it's a platform to connect with interesting people, a window to see the world from home, a possibility to start a great friendship.
