Just trying to live the best life I can while becoming the best man I can be. Travelling, meeting and connecting with new people is a huge part of my journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience new things! While backpacking Costa Rica I had no set itinerary and just went with the flow, spending a few days here or there with new friends from all over the world, crashing on a new friends couch in Liberia, travelling to Monte Verde with another new friend and finding a hostel together and meeting even more new friends! Seems like the more open I am to others, the more we connect and the more we experience. Locals showing me beautiful places and providing valuable insights, and more importantly, establishing lifelong friendships. I have met many loving, kind people travelling this way and I believe Couchsurfing is a great way to continue doing so.
