Hello. Здравствуйте. 여보세요. مرحبا.

I'm Chase, a 33-year-old software engineer originally from Atlanta, Georgia USA (in the southeast). If you've ever watched the Walking Dead or Stranger Things, you know what my hometown looks like (minus the zombies and demogorgons), as these shows were both filmed there. I'm not currently hosting, but you ever visit the state of Georgia, check out Atlanta and Savannah!

While I love the southern USA, it's scenery/people and my family there, an insatiable wanderlust keeps me thinking about what's past the horizon, around the next corner. I used to think traveling means seeing all the cool places (old cities, nature, beaches), and it certainly does. But even more so, it's about the experiences and special connections with people you meet along the way.

Thanks for reading. Please check out my reviews here as well as my house sitting profile for a less-biased idea of who I am :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do a lot of house/pet sitting in exchange for a place to sleep. In between sitting, I'm interested in Couchsurfing since it offers a similar opportunity to meet new people and share stories. I generally work remotely in sync with the East Coast time zone (EST / UTC -5) while I travel, so all I need is a reliable internet connection, a place to lay my head and some interesting conversations.

This is my house sitting profile (which also includes international criminal background check):
