CURRENT MISSION

Gain another working visa in a desired country of my choice.

ABOUT ME
After graduating with my bachelors I ended up living in New Zealand while circumnavigating the globe. I've since restarted a career in the military defense world, currently working as a Quality Assurance Inspector in aerospace industry. I'm super outdoorsie, mountain bike, skate-snow-surf board, frisbee golf, fish, rock climb, scuba dive, fly two different types of aircraft, and race dirt bikes. Sometimes all of those in the same week :) if I'm lucky.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Networking and spreading the good karma.
