CURRENT MISSION I'll be in Europe August 2025 - November 2025. Likely heading to the Netherlands, Estonia, (Croatia or Poland), France, (Spain), Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Albania and open to other possibilities along the way. I'll be in SE Asia starting in November - May 2026. ABOUT ME I love the arts, food culture, adventure and travel, and my interests range from painting to fly fishing, cooking to filmmaking. I really enjoy getting to know people and spending time with friends. Lived on the U.S. Northeast for most of my life but have had the good fortune to travel a bit in Europe, Asia and Africa. And I love the West Coast in the U.S.. I have lived and worked as an architect and professional pastry assistant in NY/CA; gone on art residencies in Wyoming, Michigan and Finland; did film projects in Inner Mongolia and Rwanda. I now work remotely as a sustainability consultant (predominantly dealing with LEED and WELL certifications of buildings at the moment) but big changes are in the air - hoping to create work from my passions, which revolve around adding to a growing process, whether it be permaculture, fermentation, plants, animals, etc.

I worked the last decade as a software engineer, got burnt out, and now I'm looking for a new direction. I'm trying to become better traveled while I figure out what's next. Let's hang out, and in exchange for a place to stay, I'll help you with just about anything ya need! Got a little plumbing/electrical/carpentry work to do? Happy to assist. Looking for some dashing new pictures to add to your dating profile? We'll do a photo shoot. Or if nothing's on the agenda, we can just share a few pints and stories. I'm easy-going to a fault, very low maintenance, and open to experience whatever the world has to offer. Here's to making some great memories :)

Hoping to share positive experiences with everyone! Coming back to the couchsurfing world after some years away. I've hosted tons of people in San Francisco and Denver and made lifelong friends through couchsurfing. I now reside in Durham, NC and absolutely love it and would love to share it with you.

CURRENT MISSION To trek peacefully on this planet ABOUT ME Building beautiful environments and helping strengthen communities. Written 15 years ago when I lived in Seattle. Now I'm preparing to bring this same mission to the Volta Region in Ghana and am so excited! PHILOSOPHY Change is the only constant. Evolving every day. Also with 15 years ago and still true

Hi!! We're hitchhiking around the south on a journey to find community and learn about communities and ourselves! We love interesting conversations, nature, spirituality, and celebrating queerness and individuality! :)

I am a PhD student at Duke University, USA working on the effects of air pollution on human health. Originally from India but live in the US now. I love to cook and learn to cook new vegetables, lentils, etc. I have learned to identify a few wild plants and fruits and forage every now and then. I rock climb regularly and have recently taken up drumming and am part of a Brazillian drumming band.

I am a pro wrestler. I’ve wanted to be a pro wrestler since I was a kid, and now here I am living my dream even if it’s on a small scale right now. I am vegan and straight edge (no drugs, smoking, or alcohol). I’ve been vegan for the animals for 17 years. That’s over half my life! I love going out to vegan restaurants. I love to travel and unfortunately don’t have the chance to as much as I would like. I’ll eventually go on a big trip out of the country, but for now it’s traveling within the US.
