Exploration. Adventure. Experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a house full of great people in Varkala, Kerala, India and had an awesome time learning about their culture.

In Japan, I stayed with two different hosts who weren't able to show me around but offered great advice and welcomed me back each evening.

I had a blast with the welcoming Jimmy in Hong Kong eating all the best food, going hiking, and to an awesome club.

Countless CS events and hangouts, primarily in Europe, with locals, expats, and solo travelers alike.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The breathtaking mountain views in Udaipur, Amer (Jaipur), Shimla, and Manali, India. Cycling around villages near Yangshuo, China. Hiking up Hua Shan in China overnight to catch the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I picked up a little Mandarin in China using several methods, so I could recommend a few resources. I'd like to learn more about languages and other cultures, especially Spanish and Mandarin.
