I’m chris. I am originally from Brooklyn New York and currently live on long island New York. I have been working at an international airport for the past 15 years and was in the military for 6 years prior to that. Both careers have afforded me many travel opportunities. I am also a PADI Divemaster so many of my travels revolve around SCUBA diving. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their culture and traditions. I feel this is the most fulfilling part of travel. I am a fun and genuine person and love having a good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having been traveling for 20 years I feel that the people make the place. there is no better way to interact with people than staying with them in their home or inviting them into your home. The culture exchange is the greatest benefit I find using Couchsurfing.
