About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and make others happy.

ABOUT ME

Just a guy that thought this site was a genius idea. I have a passion to travel . I always wanted to meet new people and not worry about giving ny money to a Hilton when you can experience the culture with a local. I love to try new things and lend a couch to a person while traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

I travel to jnvest in my cultural portfolio -me

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
St. Augustine

'To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries' Aldus Huxley

"There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met."
William Butler

“The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences”
Christopher McCandless (into the wild guy)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted couch surfing events with zero deaths!

Teach, Learn, Share

Travelling will inevitably introduce you to scammers. Educate yourselves to this with this Series https://www.youtube.com/show/scamcity Some of these are extreme and i couldn't see ever happening while others have happened to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge of my travels, great competition in any board games , a sense of security, and if you're adventurous to try new foods you may have thought would have been disgusting. i have a passion for food, i am a true believer that food is one of the only universal things left that brings different cultures together. I cook and am very clean and will respect your place even more than my own. i can also share my passion for music.
