Overview
About Me
Hello! I started Couchsurfing in 2010 and had a great profile with tons of reviews and references, but Couchsurfing deleted my profile and can't recover it :(
In any case, I quit my job over a year ago and have been traveling full time ever since. In my former life I was a Construction Project Manager in San Francisco, California but I always knew I'd save up and quit at some point to travel and I am living out my dream right now.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet and get to know new people, especially while I am solo traveling. Every person has their own unique story and I enjoy getting to know it. From 2010-2011 I used Couchsurfing throughout Europe and met up with about a dozen people, whether it was staying at their place or for a cup of coffee or beer. I am not sure if Couchsurfing has changed over the years, but I am excited to have a similar experience throughout Asia just like I did in Europe.
