Hello! I'm Ray.

I do my best to soak up everything I can from life and people -- learning and trying new things, traveling, taking risks, and enjoying all I can. I like to dance and am learning to cook. I am also an entrepreneur and launched two organizations in the US (my goal is to build a new university).

Travels: I recently returned from visiting London, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Valencia, Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, Bratislava, Salzburg, and Munich! I’m back in NYC now and am looking forward to hosting more soon.

If you want to dig into the big questions of life, I’m also always down for interesting conversation :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people while traveling because that's when the best things happen.

I love making friends all over the world. I am here for the conversations, the food, and the fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help people transform their lives by launching new careers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to launch your own business/nonprofit, and/or about the future of the university (I run a global community of 1000+ entrepreneurs in higher education).

Happy to explore cities with you and show you some of my favorite spots, if I'm hosting.

Always down to learn to cook a meal from your country!
