My name is Paul and I was born and raised in New Jersey, near New York City. My goal is to explore the world and make a positive lasting impact with everyone I meet. I work remote as a mental health therapist as this allows me the freedom and flexibility to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people to learn about their lives and experiences. I want to be immersed in the cultures of the areas I visit. The purpose of CS is to open your home to interact and learn from others, so if we have the same idea then let's meet.
I am not gay, so if you’re a host/surfer looking for that then please be respectful.
If I can host you, then I don't expect to just be used for a free stay. Therefore, if you have no interest in interacting, then I will ask you to find another place to stay.
If I can host you, I want you to feel comfortable to have a fun and safe trip when you visit.
All of the above is based on personal experience and from others I have talked to from the CS community.

Thank you!
