I live on a small farm in the Eastern United States in a county with three times more cows than people. In light of growing up in such a small place, I’ve always had a desire to travel and for adventure. I’m outgoing and friendly and love to meet new people, learning about their culture and way of life.

I was accepted to the College of William and Mary but deferred my enrollment for one year so that I could carry out my dream: to travel the world. I’m embarking on a massive trip here and will be visiting countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, among others.

I’ve worked for nearly a year to fund my trip and will be more than glad to continue working hard when I stay at your home... be it teaching you something or helping with tasks around the house.

Thank you and I can’t wait to meet you.

Kind Regards,
Connor Culbertson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling on a shoestring and Couchsurfing is the perfect low-budget option I’ve been looking for. Moreover, I think the program is a terrific way to get to know a country and its people... better than staying in a hotel, etc ever would!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once swam down a river in Brazil’s Pantanal region teaming with caiman and piranha. Yikes.
