Hey world! I'm Mike and I am Connecticut, USA's biggest fan! I love this place. I consider myself a healthy mix of local yocal and well-traveled backpacker. I've been to all 50 US states and 6 continents. Antarctica is on my list hopefully soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel so lucky to be part of the couchsurfing community. It has enabled me to travel throughout the world and meet some of the kindest, sincerest, most genuine and generous people I could ever wish for. It has restored the thought in my mind that there truly are truly nice, amazing people in this world who don't strive for money as their biggest desire. There is greater satisfaction in connection, helping others, and learning about different ways of living!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to play high quality ping pong
Learn: I want to learn everything I can about other cultures from the way you eat, talk, run schools, interact, play music, build houses, etc.
Share: Life experiences! I want to share what I have experienced and hear from you as well. This is the joy of couchsurfing that I have appreciated most. Having that great mutual experience of sharing and bonding with someone from a different place than me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

-a lot of travel experiences (many on couchsurfing), good vibes, laughter, fitness tips, help with things around their place, respect, kindness
