I am a very respectful and mindful individual who has traveled to many destinations around the world and enjoy exploring deep corners that only locals would experience rather than the tourist highlights. I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people of all different walks of life and when i travel. As a guest i am very respectful of concerns the host may have and am always happy to assure that the experience of having me as a guest will go well. I am very cooperative and would love to help out in anyway i can if the opportunity arises.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a mother who works for an airline, as her son i receive travel benefits that make it affordable for me to fly until i am 26, but as a college student i still find it difficult to find a place to crash for a night or two. By entering the couch surfing community i would be able to achieve a dream which is to be able to travel as much as i can on a budget. I always enjoy meeting new people in my travels, it has allowed me to gain a wider perspective that i will carry with me throughout the rest of my life. Knowing there are fellow kind souls that would open their home/couch to people on this community really creates an amazing opportunity for everyone.
