Many people know me by my childhood nickname, Randy, and though I will answer to either, I greatly prefer to answer to Randall Shay (said together as one name), as it is my birth name and I feel more deeply connected with it, spiritually. Thank you for understanding!

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission in life is to be happy, adventurous, and forever a student of every hidden teacher I meet. I bought my own business as a health and wellness consultant in 2013 to further my ability to be a healer through natural, holistic means and alternative medicine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet people from all walks of life and see what I can learn from each. Life is a continuous journey, filled with lessons and trials and I desire to experience as much as possible.

While I do allow full access to my kitchen and bathroom, and it is gratefully appreciated when guests treat me with dinner, I do request that you are tidy and thoroughly clean up after yourself. Thank you! 🙏🏼☺️🙏🏼

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited New York City, NY when I about 16 years old with our local high school Swing Choir. Aside from the many amazing sites we saw, we performed at the United Nations and the Statue of Liberty.
