I rarely use CS for a stay, mostly prefer Airbnb as I work 9-5 remotely(dont wanna disturb my hosts with my meetings). But always ready to host, hangout with fellow Couch surfers and travelers. Currently completely on travel/activities in weekends and Data Engineer on weekdays( sometimes traveling on weekdays too😜). My Subaru Outback 🚙 is my permanent travel companion in my good days and bad days. Any other traveller or adventurer is welcome to join me in my journey(Always happy to meet new people and share stories).
