ABOUT ME

My name is Raymond. I spent 6 years in the U.S. Navy seeing the world. I love to read and enjoy the company of new people. I have a couch. I love backpacking and hiking, the outdoors and sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball and hockey. I also do a bit of MMA fighting in my spare time.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life so you will not look back one day and regret anything that you have ever done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i would love to show someone around either Granite City or St. Louis, MO. You can see the arch from the street so it isn't far. I will try to make the time as enjoyable and fun as possible. I have a couch and would love to host someone. I just moved into a new house by myself so it gets a little lonely sometimes.
