Hey, hi, hello! My name is Colin and I'm just an average dude who loves going places, meeting new people, and trying new things. I really enjoy sharing stories of the places I've been and hearing those of others as well. So far I've been to fourteen countries across four continents and I have...a lot more to go. Here's hoping you can help me with that! I think my ultimate goal in life is to visit every country in the world and experience as much as I can. In my opinion, nothing is better than travel when it comes to opening someone's mind and I try to motivate and help my friends back home do it whenever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started my travels several years ago with guided tours. Then I moved onto individual trips using Airbnb (which I had heard was cheaper than hotels and a great way to meet people). That's all true, and I had a great time doing that, but this time around I wanted to try something different. I'm a huge fan of "going with the flow" and it looks like Couchsurfing might be an even better fit for me. I'm hoping to meet new people, make some new friends, and learn as much as I can!
