About Me

Hey there, I’m an easygoing and respectful person who enjoys meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and sharing good conversations over coffee or a walk around the city.

I work in retail management and design, so I naturally pay attention to small details and love creating cozy, welcoming spaces. Friends describe me as reliable, calm, and thoughtful, someone who likes things organized but doesn’t take life too seriously.

When I travel, I prefer to explore like a local, walking through neighborhoods, discovering small cafes, and talking to people who actually live there. I’m not into wild partying but I enjoy good company, laughter, and meaningful talks. I have driven across the country and visited all the national parks.

I believe Couchsurfing is about connection and trust, not just finding a place to stay, but meeting people who leave a positive mark on your journey. When you sending a request to stay please do share bit about yourself and why you choose me?

Philosophy:

We’re all carrying something as you reading. Be gentle with yourself. Take the small wins. Rest when you need to. And remember that even in times like this, you’re still growing in ways you might not see yet.

If you’re struggling, I see you. Someone sees you
If you’re fighting battles in silence, I’m proud of you. Someone is. If you’re trying again after getting knocked down, that says everything about your strength.

You don’t need to have it all together. You just need to keep going. One step. One breath. One day at a time. You waking up, putting on your clothes, wearing that smile, and taking one more step… it all matters more than you think. Even on the days you don’t feel it, you’re making a difference in ways you might not see yet.

Your effort counts. Your presence counts. Your small wins count. You’re not falling behind. You’re surviving something heavy, and that itself is a victory.

Our subconscious is often drawn to people who mirror our perceptions and interests, and that’s where many relationships get complicated. True connection isn’t about finding someone to fill a void, it’s about sharing your wholeness with someone who chooses to do the same.

Everyone talks about taking time to get to know others, but the real work is knowing yourself. Because no matter how long you spend with someone, you never fully know them. We only ever know pieces. There’s what people show, what they hide, and the deeper part even they haven’t explored yet. We don’t know people, we know our interpretations of them based on our own history.

Love doesn’t need time to happen. It’s impulsive, irrational, and instant. Time only deepens it. When people say they need time to love, often they’re attaching to shared traits, familiar patterns, or they don’t trust their own discernment enough to recognize what’s genuine.

Connection isn’t limited to physical presence. Energy is vibration and frequency, and we’re all transmitting and receiving it constantly. You can sense a lot about someone in the first few exchanges. Attraction based solely on visible traits is fragile because traits can be performed. Energy can’t.

Some connections feel immediate because they are. Certain souls feel familiar, safe, or magnetic without explanation, while others never quite land no matter how much time you give them. That pull or resistance isn’t random. Not everyone notices it, and not everyone is grounded enough within themselves to trust it.

Disappointment usually comes from ignoring what we already knew. We sense when something isn’t healthy, but we expect it to change. From the start, you can feel whether a connection will nourish you or drain you.

What triggers us in others often points back to unresolved parts of ourselves. We recognize in others only what we’ve met within. Love can only be cultivated between two people who have already begun cultivating it inside themselves.

You don’t need more experiences to gain clarity. You already have instinct, intuition, and gut feeling. The work is sharpening them through self-awareness and self-work, not outsourcing your truth to time, appearances, or validation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like i said I’m back to give the platform another chance because I miss the kind of connections that only Couchsurfing brings! real conversations, cultural exchange, and shared experiences that go beyond social media or travel apps.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a mix of everything from soft acoustic and world music to classic rock and chill electronic beats. Music depends on the mood and moment.

Books: I enjoy books that make you think travel stories, philosophy, and anything that explores human connection or personal growth. A few favorites: The Alchemist, Man’s Search for Meaning, and Into the Wild.

Movies: Love films with depth and good storytelling from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Before Sunrise to classics like The Godfather and Inception. I also enjoy a good sci-fi or indie film now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted travelers from all over the world and turned those brief stays into real friendships that lasted for years. It’s amazing how people from completely different backgrounds can connect like family under one roof.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share stories from my travels, tips on exploring cities like a local, and a lot of nature hikes, road trip tricks I’ve picked up along the way.

I’m also always open to learning about new cultures, languages, and how people see life differently. I believe every person you meet teaches you something.

So we can share good conversations, laughter, and an open-minded space. I enjoy exchanging ideas, experiences, and maybe a homemade meal or good coffee.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good company, stories from my travels, and a positive attitude. I’m happy to help around the house, cook a meal, or bring something small from my culture. Mostly, I share respect, laughter, and genuine curiosity, the kind that turns a stay into a memorable exchange.

Countries I’ve Visited
