As of May 18 2018 I just started using this app. So some verifications are in progress. You can find out more about me at my travel blog steemit.com/@travelman.

Hello, I’ve been traveling the world for the past eight months. I was a registered nurse in California before starting my trip, before that a Pilates instructor, substitute teacher, struggling filmmaker.

I’m here to have a different kind of experience in cities. It will be great to immediately meet a local. It’s always nice to stay with someone or have a traveler stay with you and have good conversation and an opportunity to be good to one another.

While on my trip I’ve volunteered at a school and hospital in Nepal, trekked in the Himalayas, learned to dive in Thailand, became a yoga teacher in India, and met a lot of amazing people. I just stayed with some friends in Belgium who I’d met in Laos.

Been to Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Dubai, England, Wales, Paris, Bruges, Brussels, Cologne, Canada, Mexico, Allover USA including Hawaii

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said in about me, it’s a better experience staying with someone who has invited you into their home, you get to make new friends and be good to others.
