Hello fellow humans!

I like Couchsurfing because nothing beats a great conversation with a local. It's the best way to get introduced to the local customs, great food, and entertainment. Some of my favorite travel memories were made possible by Couchsurfing, such as being invited to family meals and get-togethers, popping bottles of grandpa’s homemade wine and so on. When I surf, I’m not only looking for a place to stay, I actually have a genuine interest in connecting with my host. I have hosted in the past and know the joy of showing someone my favorite little nooks they wouldn't otherwise have been exposed to.

My ultimate favorite way of traveling is by motorcycle, it's unlike anything else. This method of transportation really gives you the ability to explore unique places, meet new people, and actively engage in experiences you would otherwise miss out on; it’s the beauty of the in-between and unknown… embracing that true sense of freedom and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm here for both, hosting and surfing. Back in college, I used to host quite regularly. Actually, the community of hosts in the otherwise rural area was so small, we used to argue over who gets to host next.

I've surfed throughout the US, in Mexico and a few European countries.
