Description

I'm a former materials engineer, and currently taking a break from career hustles and bike touring across North and Central America for slow travel and taking in the landscape and local cultures while removing the external distractions to think about what I want to do in life.

I feel energized and inspired being connected to people, making meaningful impact on others' lives and the environment through working together towards a mutual goal. I love solving problems and doing deep thinking about possible solutions, brainstorming with people, also being outside and working with my hands.

Some of my main hobbies/interests are outdoor sports, cycling, diving (I'm a certified rescue diver), snowboarding, camping, listening and playing music (I play drums), photography and writing. I'm keen to learn to surf as well.

What else ...

I'm currently on a long bike tour across the United States and Central America, about to enter Mexico. I like to talk about bikes, sports, science, environment and philosophy. I can play many different sports well but can get too competitive at times, same goes for board or card games (especially Monopoly or backgammon).

I love going on adventures, sharing experiences, sleeping outside, gathering around campfire and tell stories

This is it so far, I might add some more insight later on. Or even better tell you in person :)
