Hey guys ! My name is Ray and I grew up on the space coast of Florida in the U.S. I am currently ending my time in Iceland as a hiking guide and heading to Scotland to hike the West Highland Way and explore the area. I am open minded and easy to get along with, and love to meet new people. I graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and Policy and am now doing seasonal guiding and environmental research gigs. I'd be ecstatic to learn anything about the country you're staying in and the places you love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet people from all over and get a more authentic feel for the areas I visit. I'd love to get to know my host but am also okay with not hanging out if that is what's preferred. I'd love to have a place one day where I can host others.

Interests

I love to hike and backpack and just spend time outside in general. Trying new foods and seeing new places are things I actively seek doing.
