About Me

I am involved in the Couchsurfing community in all aspects- I have hosted surfers, I have couched, and I have attended CS events in New York, where I have met locals who I still stay in touch with and consider as friends.

I am also an avid bike packer (multi-day trips on my beloved bicycle) and have extensively used Warmshowers (a similar platform for cyclists only).

In my travels, I have been lucky to meet people from different backgrounds who have helped me with a place to stay and shower, food to eat, rides, and of course, cultural exchange. I would like to give back and help those in need or simply any wandering travelers looking for a safe comfortable place to rest.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is actually long - stay healthy and humble! Be kind. Be the right amount of scared. Invest in good people. Invest in a clean Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
