Always look to explore new things, meet new people, go new places, and become more enriched and well-rounded from the experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Joined the Couchsurfing site in the fall of 2017, as I was preparing to embark on a trip around the South Pacific and other locales (including Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia -- Sydney and Cairns --, Fiji, Hawaii). Had an absolutely fantastic experience connecting with and staying with Couchsurfing hosts in all of those places on that trip! Was able to share and learn so much from people in each of those locations. I followed that trip with 5-days of excursions in Iceland, which further allowed me to meet some amazing CS-ers! Other experiences with Cs-ers, involved a trip around Asia ( including through India, Thailand, and China) in May 2018, when I was also able to stop-off and hangout with some cool CS-ers in Vietnam and Japan. Additonally, connected with a CS group on New Year's Eve (in Amsterdam) 2018! We had a blast ringing in 2019! Would welcome opportunities to meet up with visitors to Boston!
