About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Been traveling the world for the last 5+ years.

In that time, never really did much couchsurfing.

Thought it was best to leave room for travelers who couldn't afford it.

As I'm coming to understand recently, couchsurfing is more than a place to find free accommodation, it is a way to connect with locals and experience new places through their eyes.

I am near the tail end of my journey and thought it'd be a good idea to explore couchsurfing before travel ends.

PHILOSOPHY

Whenever you approach a fork in the road, take it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When traveling, I really explore destinations I visit. As a friend once said, 'leaving no stone un-turned,' whether it's spending two weeks in the jungles of amazon doing ayahuasca, hiking the tallest mountain range in Africa, sleeping in the oldest rainforest in Malaysia, or watching summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge. So I can offer wonderful stories, guide, insight, and advice about traveling and the world that is very unique and largely untapped or discovered.
