About Me

🌍 Greetings, fellow wanderlusters! I'm Forrest, a globe-trotter, culture enthusiast, and a friend you haven't met yet. With a backpack that's seen more miles than a vintage postcard collection, I've ventured through bustling cityscapes, serene countryside, and everything in between. My heart beats for the uncharted, the places where stories are waiting to be discovered and shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, travel is more than just ticking boxes off a bucket list; it's about the souls you meet along the way. CouchSurfing is my bridge to the incredible tapestry of cultures, experiences, and friendships that this planet has to offer. I'm here to both host and surf, to exchange stories over cups of coffee or local brews, and to make memories that last a lifetime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to pick just one, but climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with my father back in 2017 was the first major International experience I ever went on that really led me to fall in love with the thrill of exploring new cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can share insights into digital nomad life, give photography tips, and teach recipes from around the globe.
Learn: I'm eager to learn about your culture, your stories, and perhaps a recipe or two.
Share: Experiences, laughter, and maybe a journey or two. I believe in the magic of shared moments and the bonds they forge.
What I Can Share with Hosts:
Beyond tales from the road, I bring an open heart, a helping hand in the kitchen, respect for your home and rules, and perhaps a small token from my homeland. Let's make our time together a chapter worth reminiscing about.

What I Can Share with Hosts
