Hi! I'm Howie and I like to meet friends wherever I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a friend in Rio and she introduced me to Couchsurfing. My first couchsurf was with her at Santa Cruz, Bolivia and another one with her friend at Uyuni in 2015. I found Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet friends and knowing the best of the culture with a local. You learn things that travel guides won't be able to tell you and seeing the world in a different point of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled Bolivia without knowing any Spanish and managed to survive :P... naa... that's not it... probably ran through the mountain of Isla del sol, Titicaca to catch the ferry while my high altitude sickness was kicking in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I've traveled around the world, I love to share my insight and experience in each place I traveled to. Besides an engineer, I'm also a photographer. I can share my photography knowledge and skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Do you have a broken lightbulb? You have an engineer here to fix something :)
