I have traveled internationally for the past 22 years. Although much of my travel has been for business, my best experiences have been when I connected with local individuals and families and stayed out of the large, internationally-branded hotels.

I am unable to host currently as I am overseas.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I have done a fair amount of traveling. I have been to 49 of the 50 US states and 24 foreign countries. I have always found that no matter where I go, interacting on a personal level with people makes the experience much richer. Finding places only locals know about is easier when you have the time and opportunity to get to know people on a first name basis.
