Hello! I am a redhead, Austrian/American, bike enthusiast currently living in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In November, I am cycling down from San Francisco to Tijuana which should be a grand little trip...I am planning on stopping by several places on the way down, and hope to find somewhere to string up my hammock or a couch to crash on...

I also sell my art/murals. You can check out my website at stuartjefka.com !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used couchsurfing all around the world, but it has always been through my wife's account since we so often travel together. Since I am cycling solo this time, I decided to re-open my own account. I greatly enjoy being able to meet new and interesting people, and we have had the opportunity to make many friends from all walks of life. Couchsurfing is truly a great way to meet the kindest most hospitable people this world has to offer!

Interests

I like film, art, history, travel, good food and drink... having a good time with good people, cycling, chess, diabolo, staying up-to-date with current affairs and swimming in the ocean!
