I like traveling a lot. My job is doing research and analysis for the bus travel platform https://www.busbud.com/. Besides that, I like working on civic projects and going out to eat around my hometown, Milwaukee, which I recently moved back to after finish an urban planning degree in Austria.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I travelled the furthest I could get in "Europe" using frequent flier miles... my trip took me to Armenia where I had a great couchsurfing host. I quickly learned a bit about Armenia's stunning natural and built beauty and it's social situation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like talking about ways to get places.

Current learning pursuits: Spanish, sign language, and bike mechanics.
