Hey, I’m Randy. I was born in Guyana but I moved to the US when I was 9 and I’ve lived there ever since. I used to work in finance before I quit my job to backpack the world for the next two years. Some of my hobbies include latin dancing, scuba diving and trying to learn new languages 😅 Im looking forward to making friends all over the world :) My insta is @randythebackpacker, feel free to hmu there 🤙🏾

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet new people and experience countries in a different way. I’ve been traveling since I was 18 and CS has opened a whole new world to me. Nothing beats a local showing you their city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music in different languages, I don’t watch too many movies, and for books I only read finance and self development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting 6 continents in 6 months spending less than $1000 in airfare. (I consider myself the travel deal specialist 😏😭)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like anthropology and linguistics. As like any traveler, I like the aesthetic beauty of a country; but I also really try to understand the culture and the people during my visits. I like to go Latin dancing in new cities I visit because it gives me a chance to interact with locals that share the same hobby as me. I also recently took up running.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can enjoy a meal together, go exploring, try new activities, and exchange crazy stories.
