Hello Everyone! My name is Steven Covelman and I'm a teacher on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. I currently live in the island's surf capital, the North Shore, but I'll be moving to San Jose, California shortly. I love traveling and meeting new people, especially locals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to get to meet fellow travelers and go on all kinds of adventures. I like learning from the cool people I meet and getting to hear their perspectives about the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped in a volcanic crater.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an American history teacher so I can share a lot about that. I'm also able to teach a bit about things like camping, paddle boarding, and other ocean-related activities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot about the education system in the United States from the perspective of a student and a teacher. I've also got insight into what it's like to live in Hawaii compared to the mainland United States.
