NOW: Been traveling for nearly 6 years from San Francisco, California - I'm an adventurer, philosopher, speaker, teacher, coach/guide in search of growth, new experiences, and great conversations. WHY TRAVEL? Being in genuine service to other people and deeply interested in society and the world - more specifically how politics/economics/communities can be used to create better environments for people to grow and reach their full potential. Curious to see all the different ways that people live and unravel the mysteries of the world. MY PAST: Once upon a time I was a tech and culture consultant in San Francisco/Silicon Valley for the big tech companies there (Google, Apple, Facebook, Tesla, Uber, Amazon, Microsoft).

QUOTES:
It's not enough to be busy, so are ants. The question is: what are we busy about? Some people die at 25 but aren't buried until they're 75.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Looking to meet locals and see what their lives and local experiences are like. The best way of getting to know the world, besides traveling it, is to meet people from all over and getting to know their part of the world through them.

Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to do so through hosting while meeting open -and like-minded people as well as giving me an opportunity.

Love good friends and good conversations and are looking for hosts who are happy to teach and share their experiences.
