American guy here! Grew up near New Orleans, LA. Living in Key West, FL! 🪴plant dad ⛵️hobby sailor 🌎 travel enthusiast (like you!!) - Hosting international couchsurfers only - I may not be able to always hang out (I have a job). Please be willing to be independent! - Have at least a bit of money for the basics. I won’t always be able to provide meals if I’m working! - In your request, you must tell me how you plan to arrive and leave. Bus/Flight, etc. (Flixbus from Miami is affordable and convenient). This is how I will know you took the time to read my profile and you’ve done your research on how to get to Key West.
UPDATE: Not hosting right now, sorry. Life is a mess and I'm not set up for it. Normally…Solo travelers only... Last minute requests are fine and actually preferred. It’s a sailboat so tight space and is more if a bunk with not so much privacy. I’m trying to do some remodeling so it’s better. Other suggestions in the Florida Keys. **Ladies only- “host a sister facebook page” is pretty cool. Offers safe “couch surfing” for women. No solo guys are allowed on the page but some hosts are cool with women and their male significant other. It’s worldwide. **Seashell Motel/Hostel in Key West **Boyd' campground in Key West/Stock Island Or Leos campground *NYAH hotel (has dorms) in Key West **"The ranch" on Big Pine Key. This is a donation-only hippie community that welcomes travelers to camp. Bring your own tent and place a donation in the box in the outdoor kitchen. ASK before pitching a tent. Go to Big Pine and ask around. There is no website, but they are there. Solar-powered showers, lend a hand around the yard if you can. Bring your instrument if you play..they love musicians. ***Florida City Everglades hostel. (If you are only doing a day trip to Key West or planning on spending most of your time in Key Largo/lower keys). This is a great hostel with free camping in the backyard, a waterfall, treehouse, etc... I highly recommend it. ABOUT ME I've been a writer since I was old enough to put sentences together, and my college room mate got me hooked on travel. At one point, while struggling in New York City, I thought that it had to be possible to combine the two, so now I'm a travel writer for a few companies, none of which pay me very much. Traveling is the only thing I spend my money on. I love meeting people, experiencing new cultures, and seeing what life is like for real - not just just what's on TV. I'm working on a book about hitchhiking on airplanes and a short memoir on a 40-day quarantine at sea. I've been posting some of my travel writing on ambernolan.com. PHILOSOPHY "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Smash Life.
I am a wayfarer, a solivigant, travel addict , just an average California girl living an entertaining life. I have a gypsy soul, I love traveling and meeting new people, learning about other cultures and experiencing it first hand. I work as a flight attendant and behavioural health case manager in an outpatient clinic. I have a level 2 security clearance and FAA credentials. . All of my children are grown and no longer living at home. I'm a non smoker, I'm a social drinker. Straight but not narrow, LGBTQ friendly. I do have an extremely active life and keep a busy social calendar. If I am available I will gladly take you around and introduce you to Key West, its a small island but the locals have big personalities. I’m now working as a flight attendant and although my home is still in Key West, I stay at different bases for months at a time and I am not presently able to host guests.
I am a collage student in Miami and I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. Always down to try local foods and hidden gems in the area.

Heyhey, I'm Nadine and I‘m a teacher. I'm a very open minded person, who loves to travel and see the world. Every time I get the chance to see and learn something new, I for sure will take it. Good conversations and learning more about other people fulfills me. I am new on this app, that's why I don't have any recommendations yet. But I look forward to meet some of you guys and connect 🫶🏼
I’m a fun, straight, flirty, funny guy that lives on a paradise island (Key West). I’ve had a few SBs and enjoy that dynamic! I seem to click best with younger woman - as I’m very understanding and genuinely care about their interests, future and safety! For instance I’d INSIST you wear your seatbelt if I drive you someplace - click it or ticket! It’s a law we can LIVE with 😉
Moved to Key West in July of 2021. I love going out on the town and showing people around my island. I love history and travel. I am a member of Hash House Harriers too. (if you know, you know)

UPDATE AUG 21, 2024: I'm headed back to Croatia in September! With stops in Iceland and Paris :) --- SOUTHWEST TOUR 2023: Genghis the motorcycle and I are on the road again! This time headed east towards New Orleans. This trip will be packed with photography and adventure. Can't wait to meet some interesting people along the way! --- ROUTE 66 EXTRAVAGANZA (July 2022 - Sept 2022): I started off the motorcycle trip in Chicago and making my way west via Route 66. The Mother Road! Surfed with some fantastic hosts and made it all the way to Santa Monica Pier...all 2300 miles! --- EARLY MAY, 2022: I'm in Poland and the Ukraine! I just spent the last 2 weeks volunteering on the border of Poland and the Ukraine, helping refugees with supplies and translations as they crossed into Hrebenne. After I get back to the USA, then... The cross-country motorcycle trip is BACK ON! Looking forward to the next leg of the journey!! I've been in North Carolina for the past 3 months working on startup, and am now back on the road. Looking forward to connecting with you all! *--*--*--*--*--*--* : : MY RECENT COUCHSURF HISTORY : : ** SAN LOUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA: Spent the night exploring 'the happiest city in the USA' with Michael Allen who, with great enthusiasm, helped me feel welcome and right at home. We had the famous tri-tip sandwich, hopped around to local haunts, and discussed his future motorcycle travel plans. I couldn't have asked for a better guy to hang with there. ** LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Stayed with Ben Keller, in an incredible spot in LA. Rooftop sunrise views, fire pits, and ukulele sessions through the night. I felt instantly connected to the excitement and grind of the entertainment industry there. I'll be back LA! ** LIVINGSTON, TEXAS: Impromptu stay with Hippie and Rick, the owner and head mechanic of the "190 Bike Corral." These two gentlemen were nice enough to let me sleep at the motorcycle shop while I swapped out a new clutch for Genghis (my 1971 BMW motorcycle). To repay their kindness, I tried to jump right in and help around the shop where I could. Two lifesavers, these guys. ** TULSA, OKLAHOMA: Spent 2 nights with a great guy, James Browning. Had some Oklahoma BBQ and chatted into the night about all things psychology, travel, and adventure. The guy has led a crazy life, someone I'd like to emulate in the future. What a time in Tulsa! ** ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI: Got to spend 2 days with Zen and he had a GREAT system going on. Punctual, prepared...he even provided a list of close-by restaurants, attractions, and other need-to-know info about the area. Plus, we got to see the play 'Chicago' at the Municipal Theater which was awesome. The guy knows a LOT of history about St. Louis and Route 66, I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with him! ** WARSAW, POLAND: Spent a night with Malgosia in her incredible flat in Praga, Warsaw. She showed me around, we drank some great local wine, and she even helped me with organizing a COVID test (for returning to the USA) with a local medical center in Polish. She is a hardcore traveler and her apartment was full of stories and life. Hope we cross paths again! ** COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA, USA: Here I spent a night with Marlena who was an amazing soul. We attended an environmental event, chatted about India and Alaska, and she prepared some amazing dal! Then she was nice enough to show me some of Cocoa Beach right before I rode off into the sunrise! ** ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA, USA: Got to spend some time with Ian and he showed me how to ride a One Wheel. We also had some amazing street tacos and swapped some amazing travel stories. ** ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA: I spent a night with John and we discussed all his crazy stories photographing bands like the Outlaws and the Rolling Stones. Then he showed me his newest project, a book of photographs of buskers around Asheville...and it was incredibly impressive. Great guy! ** KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, USA: I was hosted by another motorcycle traveler named Windham and we swapped some great stories. Between the gyros, rum and photos of his South America trip...he was a great host. Plus I got some amazing tips for my own motorcycle trip. ** LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, USA: Stayed with an amazing guy named Rohit. We drank tea, spoke of programming, calculus, automation and human consciousness...and connected on a lot of different levels. He made my stay in Louisville feel like home. Loved it here. ** CINCINNATI, OHIO, USA: Had the fortune to stay with Jon B. for a night, along with 2 girls from Columbia and 2 humanitarian aid workers. Played Blockus until the wee hours, had conversations in Spanish, learned how to make Vietnamese coffee, and made some great friends. ** COLUMBUS, OHIO, USA: Stayed with Rona and Shad for a few nights and had a wonderful time. They taught me about Nia, tax liens, black panthers in Brazil and the robots used in meat processing. ------ : : MY STORY : : I just started using CS and currently I'm working on building my second software business from the road on my 1971 BMW motorcycle. I really want to see the country I grew up in...experience the landscapes and meet/interview interesting people. Another passion of mine is photography, and I'm creating a 'coffee table' book of photos from this USA trip. : : MY HISTORY : : I spent my 20's as a tall ship captain, photographed India as a motorcycle backpacker, been shipwrecked in France, flown in zero-gravity with NASA and developed photography systems for US Air Force satellites, guided wilderness tours in SE Alaska, and worked as a mechanical engineer designer for Cirque du Soleil, Disney, and artists such as Taylor Swift and Pink Floyd. I'm excited for this next adventure in the USA. (also, most of my current work is done while living just north of NYC on my sailboat "Albatross")
03 FEB update: Im currently sailing back home to Key West If you have an interest in joining the boat going south shoot me a message and lets chat. Cell service is spotty here so Instagram tends to work better. IG: an_oyster_named_clam I live on a sailboat and sail around just living my life. I am sailing this season in the Florida keys. I am happy to host on my boat during this time and I will update my location as I move around. Since I am constantly moving anchorages and regularly sailing it is best for me to have requests within a week or so as my location changes frequently. I feel terrible to have to point this out but if you request a date more than a month out I'm just going to decline it, but then again those people have obviously not read this far. About me: I'm a 28 year old entrepreneur between gigs who is traveling by sailboat or motorcycle. I enjoy spontaneous travel, meeting new people, and sharing new experiences. I have lived a very diverse life. I have lived in a bus, yacht, apartment, and house. I have done construction, owned a business, and worked for others. I have traveled in almost every form that I can think of, however I would like to ride a horse some distance at some point in my life. I embrace change.
CURRENT MISSION Be better than yesterday. ABOUT ME I’m from Lima Peru but I moved to Miami since 2019. Working in Logistics. I'm kind of person who is very sincere and funny. Sometimes I'm a little bit shy at first when I meet people . Love animals , love to dance , to hear music and explore new places I discovered CS in 2014 I really like the concept of this community. PHILOSOPHY Don't regret anything that you have done because it makes who you are.
