I'm a creator and human lover on a mission to enable people to drive change towards a better world. A world with more love, joy, freedom, togetherness and learning. I believe technology and the experiences we build & enhance with it can bring us closer to that world. In order to see how it all should work though, it's important to stay in tune with our humanity. For this, I rely on the awesome people around me, music, reading, African drumming, impro theater, long walks, hikes, animals and experimentations with different activities and challenges to help me keep an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people. I love connecting with them and learning about life together through sharing experiences and insights.

Currently, I am also setting on my first long-distance hitchhike trip around Europe, with which I hope to gather some new project ideas by expanding my perspectives of Europeans, who we are, the ways in which we live and see the world, what we want it to be like, what we need and aspire for.
