CURRENTLY:

I have to admit it's been a while since I have been on Couchsurfing. After a year traveling abroad through Southeast Asia and Australia in 2014, I settled down in Maui the past 5 years working as a tour guide and ultimately a Master Captain in Maui. It's been an amazing experience but I have missed the opportunity to travel abroad and meet people from around the world in their home town. Currently, I am planning a two week vacation through a part of Europe I have never been to. I'm excited to explore and travel again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a host, a couchsurfer, a friend, a drinking buddy, a teacher and a student. I have participated in CS meetings and get togethers, not as often as i would like but as much as i have been able to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my lifetime i have had a few experiences. To say one is better than the other is absurd cause they have all been amazing in their own unique way which is why it's such a great experience. Each one is very personal to me and i haven't forgotten anyone who has offered a bed, a couch, a floor, a corner of a room, a drink, a glass of wine, a bit of knowledge, and a chance to learn something new. It's all been amazing!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 2014 traveling abroad from Southeast Asia to Australia. It was an unbelievable experience and something I will always cherish.

Driven cross country in a Honda Civic Hybrid and seeing the geography of the southern United States. It's been an amazing ride and I have seen some of the most beautiful sunsets (New Mexico desert), most scenic routes, and felt some of the coldest days I've ever experienced. 27 degrees F is pretty cold for a kid coming from Miami.

- Traveled to Italy, my first time leaving the States. It was an amazing adventure. Walked the Cinque Terra with a bag of luggage. Would never give that experience up. Drank wine with the greatest people in Italy. Thank you all!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share some of my experiences from traveling around the world and living on a small isolated island for the past 5 years. As for learning, there's so much to learn and I am more than happy to listen to stories and lessons from fellow hosts.
