After graduating university in 1999, I took off for a 3 month trip to Southeast Asia. Somehow, that trip never ended and I've been traveling and living around the world for the past 20 years. I've worked on cruise ships, started online businesses and now I'm an established blogger and founder of my own tour company.

While the sights I've seen in over 120 countries have been incredible, the main reason I continue traveling is the connections I make with people.

These days, I am based here in Valencia, Spain while taking trips, both for business and personal experience, as often as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I'm based in one place, Couchsurfing provides an opportunity to continue meeting new people from around the world, sharing stories and keeping the 'travel' alive. I also want to give back to all the incredible people that have helped me over my 20 years of traveling the world.
