I’m a software engineer and language lover who’s been lucky enough to travel to a bunch of different countries, diving into cultures and picking up languages like English, French, Tok Pisin, and German along the way. I really enjoy Couchsurfing because it’s a great way to meet locals, get a real feel for a place, and experience its art, food, and history from a fresh perspective—way more authentic than just sticking to the usual tourist spots.

I’m also a kinkster and a Shibari rope artist.

Traveling, languages, art, and connection—those are what keep me curious and inspired wherever I go.

Interests

My interests are wide-ranging and driven by a desire to explore. I find joy in food and its diverse flavors, history's compelling narratives, and the broadening experiences travel offers. As a software engineer, I thrive in technology's dynamic landscape. Art resonates deeply with me. I am passionate about LGBTQ+ activism, advocating for inclusivity, and acceptance. Exploring kink, polyamory, and frequenting gay bars allow me to express myself freely and authentically.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a deep appreciation for a wide range of musical genres, with a special fondness for electronic music. Music has the power to uplift my spirits and create unforgettable moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a remarkable travel experience in Papua New Guinea, where I worked with the Kala community to revitalize their language. Immersed in their culture, I contributed to creating language resources and documented traditional stories. I also joined marine biologists for scuba diving and species identification. I learned Tok Pisin, the local creole, which opened doors to meaningful exchanges with Kala communities. These experiences enhanced my perspective, strengthening my identity as a language enthusiast, cultural preservation advocate, and biodiversity supporter.
