CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Austin, Texas but I live in Oakland. I like hiking and exploring whether it's in the city or in nature and I'm always down for whatever. I like experiencing new things and going with flow.

I’m also a photographer so feel free to check out my Insta @zacharydeguzman

PHILOSOPHY

Good food. Good wine. Good company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always down to go on an adventure so I'm ready to see whatever is out there and I'm down to see what the couchsurfing exchange is all about.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a lot of experience but I enjoy getting a local's perspective in ecery city I visit and I hope to show people the same for others where ever I'm living. I've couched surfed a couple time in Amsterdam and Belgium. I've hosted a few surfers and mostly hitchhikers and I always love hearing about where people have traveled and sharing experiences :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends Bianca, Phil, and I road tripped this summer to Sasquatch Music Festival in Washington from San Francisco. I really enjoyed driving up the West for first time. Northern California to Oregon and back was one of the most beautiful drives I've seen. We left Wednesday and stopped off in Portland which was really cool to check out. Then all the way to George, Washington to set up camp. Friday the festival began and we saw a lot amazing artists like Of Monsters and Men, Santigold, Starfucker, Girl Talk, Beats Antique, Pretty Lights. SBTRCK, Tune-Yards, Jack White, Gary Clark Jr., Tenacious D, The Roots, Feed Me, Active Child, and Beck. Then, we drove back down and stopped on the border of Oregon and California and hiked into the mountain and set up our own campsite and explored around the forest. I couldn't have asked for greater trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm conversational in Italian so maybe I can teach you a little and I'm always willing to share and/or teach you what I know about art.
