About Me

NOTE: I lost access to my old CS account where I hosted and met many people. CS support has been useless, so I've created a new account out of desperation. Here's my old account: https://couchsurfing.page.link/i5nxz2WvP95qjonX9

I retired young from tech and now I'm traveling in search of new passion and a new place to call home. I cherish openness and sincerity and enjoy connecting over tea/coffee, hikes in nature, city exploration, or a delicious meal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling for the next few months and hoping to connect with locals and travelers.
