Hi, I’m Ralph! I’m an enthusiastic traveler, lifelong learner, and all-around people person. I thrive on meeting new people, discovering unique stories, and embracing different cultures.

I’m a bit of a pop culture buff—I love Harry Potter trivia and can probably quote most of the books from memory. When I’m not geeking out over wizards, you’ll find me practicing French, gaming on my PS5, or diving into a good book. I also enjoy exploring the outdoors and finding local gems wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travel is about more than just seeing new sights; it’s about experiencing the world through the eyes of locals and forging meaningful connections along the way. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do that. Whether hosting or being hosted, I look forward to sharing experiences, exchanging stories, and creating great memories with like-minded adventurers.
