I’m an engineer by trade and a traveler by heart. For recent years, my life revolved around designing mechanisms and writing software, squeezing in trips whenever I could. Recently, my wife and I decided to hit the 'pause' button on our jobs to pursue a dream: exploring Latin America slowly and authentically.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is mostly about the people. I’ve traveled a lot by hitchhiking because I love meeting strangers and hearing their stories.

It’s a great way to travel, but now my wife and I want to try something different. We want to slow down and really get to know the locals. We’re on Couchsurfing because we believe that sharing a meal or a good conversation is the best way to understand a country. We’re here for the stories you can’t find in any guidebook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite travel memories is being invited to a traditional Albanian wedding by a guy who picked us up while we were hitchhiking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with something around a house, cook(I like to think I’m pretty good at it) or just share the stories from my travels.
