Hey! I'm Stephen. I worked on a cruise ship for a year and visiting over fifty countries before deciding to settle in New York City. I'm a certified life coach and writer. Check out my blog (StephenWickhem.com) for essays on all aspects of life--mindfulness, spirituality, meditation, yoga, happiness, relationships, goals etc. Besides pondering heavy topics, I like to have fun by meeting new people, drinking wine/margaritas, karaoke, dancing in bars, hiking, running, reading, and of course travelling to new places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm doing what I love and living in the now--which doesn't guarantee a big income. That's why I'm hoping a kind stranger will let me into their home for a night or two!
