I'm a software engineer who loves learning, meeting interesting people, and adventures. I'm passionate about technology, psychedelics, philosophy, religion, building things, hiking, camping, music/books/movies/television, science, and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet awesome people and make great new stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a two-bed-two-bath apartment in Denver. I use the second bedroom as an office but also has a full-size bed in it (with clean sheets). It is an en-suite, so you have a private bathroom in the bedroom (with clean towels and some travel-size amenities). There is some room in the closet if you need it.

I have a kitchen (fridge, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, sink, pots, pans) if you want to use it.

My apartment is generally warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I have a space heater if needed.

I've lived in Denver since Nov. 2018, and while I wouldn't say I know much, I'm happy to share what I know.
