I go with name of “Jay” and easier to pronounce lol

From bouldering to spontaneous road trips, I like a good adrenaline rush. Yet, I equally enjoy calm moments with a sunrise/sunset view or a museum.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel isn’t just about new places…it’s about the people who give those places their soul. It’s amazing to gain life experience through meeting different cultures and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. And yes, saving money along the way means I can stretch my trips further and say yes to more spontaneous adventures.
