Hello. I am a retired small business owner who loves to travel and meet with people from all areas of the world and all walks of life. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Kind and creative lefty nerd seeking peaceful places to lay my head as I explore western Turtle Island. Recovering social worker (and harm reduction-er) on a break from the social services world. Awkward and burgeoning writer who is frustrated and confused by mediocrity and flood pants. Avid explorer; nervous about the journey for some reason. When not sweeping the feet of fascists, I can be found manicuring my neck beard. Thanks for reading.
Hello! I'm Derek. I live on Vancouver Island, just off the west coast of Canada. I run a small business doing digital marketing for tech start-ups. When I'm not working, I like to cook, hike, play games (particularly chess and backgammon), read fiction, and enjoy downtime with friends and family. I'm travelling Europe and Asia in Sept-Dec 2026 and looking for hosts along the way. I'm happy to cook meals and help with odd jobs in return for the stay!
Hi! I'm an engineering student in Victoria BC and I'm traveling around Europe this summer. I speak English and a little bit of Spanish.

It is important to know that I have a Labrador retriever living with me. If you re not comfortable with dogs then it might not work. CURRENT MISSION My mission is to have fun while exploring the BC majestic outdoors. ABOUT ME (read carefully) I WANT MORE THAN JUST PROVIDE A PLACE TO SLEEP TO MY GUESTS. IF YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A REQUEST: I want to spend time with my guests, have the opportunity to socialize and to find out about their adventure. I believe; we will all be getting something amazing out of the experience. I love taking people to great outdoor places on hikes. I would love to meet people travelling and show them a good time. If you can afford a few dollars for gas then we can go explore more and further away. I host a great number of people so your help with the cost of gas , would be appreciated. If you cannot, I would still be glad to take you around. I do not drink any alcohol but you are welcome to have a beer or a glass of wine with your meal to relax at the end of the day in my home. I am retired have lots of time on my hands.
Nice guy with a sense of humor. Adventurous. Empath. ENFP. Open-minded. Love making conversation over drinks and going for a walk! I love to laugh and make others laugh. I am a very grateful, considerate, and respectful guest, who tries to leave a space in even better shape than how I found it! Trying to see the world, try many new things, and meet tons of ppl. Extroverted! I only discovered how much I enjoy dancing to house DJs at 29! Also very much into doing chill things like meditating and hiking. Three goals in life: learn as much as possible, meet as many people as possible, and try as many new things as possible! I search for the beautiful and the different wherever I go, not only because I'm an optimist - but because it's the best way to learn from and appreciate life. not afraid to go up to a group of strangers ~ Making friends around the world is a dream for me. Obsessed with language learning!

Canadian visiting Lisbon and Madeira. I love exploring cities by walking around, finding great food and coffee spots, checking out local places, and having good conversations over a drink. I’m pretty easygoing and always up for joining someone for a coffee, a walk, a viewpoint, a beach day, or discovering a hidden gem. If you have a favourite spot in Lisbon or Madeira, I’d love to hear it.
ABOUT ME My partner and I just returned from a year+ of travels, exploring Southeast Asia, India and Africa. We had many exciting adventures but we're happy to be home again and settled in one place for a little bit. We're back to work during the week and on weekends we are catching up with friends and family, biking, going to the beach, making art and puttering around the house and garden. Feel free to check out my partner's page too! Callum Scott: https://couchsurfing.page.link/rMZs6LkyGEpasZS4A About me: I am an artist, photographer and high school art and English teacher, originally from Victoria, BC. I've spent several years travelling, working abroad, and adventuring around Canada, going to music festivals, mushroom picking and arting in Montreal. The past few years, being island bound, has given me the opportunity to explore my home island, learn more about nature and foraging. My partner and I also recently bought a house which we've been busy renovating, and we're excited to be able to host when we're able. I'm a very easy going, friendly and respectful person. I love to meet new people and go on random adventures. PHILOSOPHY to be free
I am a maritime electronics technician. I have travelled overseas quite a bit and seen a good cross section of the world albeit with limited time in each place.
I'm a music maker and a dreamer of dreams. I love to connect over good food and coffee, share poetry, song and great conversations. I'm deeply curious about life and its oddities. I spend much of my time reading and writing. I also play drums and guitar, dance, recite poetry, do yoga, read tarot cards, write calligraphy, play chess, and lift weights. I love go for long drives and long hikes, swim in the ocean, and watch the clouds and the stars. I like to collect books, tattoos, and stories.
