Hey couch surfing friends & community.

I'm Travis "ReSpecht"

The energy you give is the energy you recieve.
Be real. Be you.

Im 32,

I Live in Lake Tahoe, California and am able to host from:
April - October.

Currently I am traveling and looking to be hosted. Any floor or couch safe is perfect enough for me. I live in my Peugeot partner in Europe so I am use to very small spaces.

I travel for 6 months out of the year usually. I usually live in Europe/ mainly Spain in my Peugeot Partner during the Winter months ( November- April) and Lake Tahoe, California during the summer months. I live in a Peugeot Partner that was converted and travel throughout Spain and Portugal extensively during the winter. I love to camp, hike, explore hot springs, be outside, budget travel, explore small authentic towns, and eat all the local food that culture/ country has to offer!!

**VERY IMPORTANT** - I DO NOT SNORE =) !!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love meeting new people, experiencing a new area with a local(s) or local recommendations. Getting a real authentic experience for a country/city.

Giving back- traveling is expensive; and experiencing what the world has to offer is a huge educational experience and broadens your mindset, ways of living, traveling, and everyday life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around SE Asia - Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam with on a 110 Honda Blade; while exploring over 10,000 + KM's in 2 months.

Jumped on the top of an Iron Train and sat on-top for 26 hours in the real Saraha Desert. Was 45C during the day; and -18C at night.

drove a local bus in Bolivia on the claimed "deadliest road in the world" because the bus driver was wasted and puking out the door. So i hopped in the driver seat and took over with about 30 people, livestock and all.

Lived in my van in Europe for the Winter for about 5 years now.
Quit my job(s) to live the life I want.
Started my own small business.
Have hosted over 20+ Couchsurfers & aswell a trail ángel for hiking the PCT in America.
