Hey everyone! I'm Phoenix - an introvert who digs warm, positive vibes.

My journey with Couchsurfing began right here in Las Vegas! I was working on the Strip when I met some travelers who belonged to the community. We became friends and I decided to join, too!

Since then, I have had the pleasure of surfing on 2 couches, celebrating xmas with the CS community in Melbourne, meeting locals in Geneva, CH, sharing wild and memorable adventures in Vegas, and welcoming people into my home.

I love the true spirit behind Couchsurfing, and I enjoy meeting other people who also value community, hospitality, reciprocity, and cultural exchange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I suddenly found myself nostalgic over the "good old days" of Couchsurfing.

It seems to have changed a lot since Covid and I'm curious to see how it's going. It would also be nice to connect with people outside of my world and to possibly make a new CS friend.

I am busy between work and school at the moment, but I would be open to meeting up on a less busy day.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I like is all over the place. And I'm not familiar with anything new. Help!

I collect John Steinbeck's books. Hopefully, one day, I will actually read them. :p

My last read was: "Fall of Civilizations: Stories of Greatness and Decline" by Paul Cooper. Great book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Back in the day, it seemed common for surfers to offer hosts souvenirs from their countries or a thoughtful parting gift. I love this custom and definitely intend to keep it alive if and when I ever need a couch.
