Storyteller and filmmaker traveling to connect through culture, conversation, and community.

I'm Leo, originally from Romania, lived in Barcelona and Austin, TX, now based in Boston. I’m a traveler, business owner, and storyteller who mixes art, nature, and culture into everything I do.

I’ve spent years weaving together different communities, from permaculture and homesteading to creative expression, ecstatic dance, and philosophy circles. I’m curious, grounded, and always up for good conversation that goes beyond the surface (I get energized by deep convos!)

Here are my socials if you'd like to see if we have any mutual friends:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people, not just places. I like sharing culture, ideas, and everyday life rather than just taking the tourist track.

I’ll be exploring Asia soon (Japan, China, etc.) and I’d love to meet locals and fellow travelers who can help me see their city through fresh eyes.

I've traveled through Latin America and Eastern Europe and am happy to share about it.

I’m based in Boston and open to meet up, swap stories, and help folks have a great time here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once helped my parents retire after 25+ years of running a stressful family business. It took years of steady effort — restructuring, selling assets, and guiding them through a major life transition. Seeing them finally free, healthy, and able to live without constant stress was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

On the travel side: I’ve trekked through wild landscapes from the Carpathians in Romania, backpacked across Latin America, rode camels into the Sahara, danced under the stars at festivals, and sat in sacred ceremonies that changed how I see the world.

But honestly, the most amazing moments are always the small ones — the unexpected conversations and connections with strangers that turn into lifelong memories.
