Motto: Dreams are just that — until you reach out and make them reality.

Hi, I’m Raina — a 25-year-old with a big heart, a traveler’s spirit, and a purpose-driven soul. I’m currently back and forth beyween Southern California and Hawaii! Ive spent three beautiful years living in Hawaii. I've explored over half the U.S. and now I’m traveling through Europe as part of my healing and expansion journey.

I’m passionate about soulful living, cultural exchange, and making real connections. I love music, singing, ukulele, surfing, and meaningful conversations over coffee. I believe life is short, and we grow through every experience we say yes to — especially the unexpected ones.

I’m currently building a nonprofit to support people healing from grief and PTSD. I've worked as a caregiver, private chef, tour guide, ranch hand, and even did a little blacksmithing — no joke!

Whether I’m learning, laughing, or helping someone feel safe and seen, I live for purpose-driven moments and human connection. I’m here to meet new friends, share stories, and bring good energy wherever I go. 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet kind people, learn from local life, and make real memories beyond the typical tourist spots. Couchsurfing is such a beautiful way to connect with culture and community — and I’m traveling solo with an open heart and deep gratitude.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Afrobeats, reggae, jazz, classical, soul, pop — if it has feeling, I’m into it. I used to DJ a bit, so I love anything that moves people and creates a vibe.

Movies/Shows:
Stranger Things, Eat Pray Love, and anything with depth or adventure.

Books:
Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Alchemist, and I love deep, soul-stirring reads or books about personal growth.

I’m also always down for deep philosophical convos over tea or a sunset.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I forged a knife out of a railroad tie.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a background in hospitality, wellness, and entrepreneurship. I can share skills in digital marketing, business management, cooking, and baking. I’ve managed Airbnbs and hostels, guided ATV and zipline tours, and supported others as a caregiver and healing facilitator.

I’m a humanitarian at heart and aspire to open a healing center and mentorship program for young adults — a safe space that blends skill-building, emotional support, and holistic care.

I love learning from people with different life paths and would be honored to share knowledge, conversation, or a good home-cooked meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good energy, good food, and good conversation. I’m happy to cook, clean, or just be respectful and contribute to the vibe of your home. I’m laid-back, easy to talk to, and always grateful for the opportunity to share space with others
