Please note: I can only host mostly on weekends.

You can follow my world trip on my Instagram @bentorrs, let’s exchange IG so I will have some idea about you before you request to be hosted.

I’m fully vaccinated (3 doses). So I am traveling a lot again! Had visited over 57 countries in my lifetime so far and counting!! Goal is to hit 5 new countries each year!

I'm easygoing, down-to-earth, and very open minded person who can easily connect and make friends. I love to travel and I try to spread my vacation time throughout the year to cover as much new places as I can.

I work full time as an accountant for Automotive and I try to maximize my vacation when I can.

I am open to host in Detroit area again but can mostly host in weekends when I am in town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m interested to get to know people from different walks of life. Share experiences and cultures. And I think it’s a good platform to share kindness and gain friendships from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing things that I have done is that I have 25 scholars in the Philippines that I support. I pay for their tuition, school uniforms, and school supplies. Since I enjoyed doing this cause and helping kids, I end up doing it annually for 15 years now... I am paying it forward since I am also a product of a scholarship program back in the day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic concept of budgeting and living within your means and yet enjoy things that you love like traveling. I am also considered a good career coach 😊

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share life’s experiences, good laugh and some adventures. When traveling and possibly meeting a host, I’d like to share something, maybe souvenir, from where I am from (Michigan). To have a good remembrance of our meeting and friendships.
