Hello! My name is Austin from Atlanta, USA. I am currently on a break from my studies to travel the world. I was in Morocco in August and now I am in Kyrgyzstan for all of September. Afterwards I will be going to India for two months to complete yoga teacher training and then I am unsure where I’ll go after— maybe you can give me some recommendations:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite memories while traveling have been when I form connections with the locals. Couch Surfing seems like a great way to meet people and have an authentic experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was stuck in a snow storm in the mountains of the Faroe Islands. Luckily the infrastructure is great there and the firemen came quickly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study Computer Science at university and am super interested in languages. I speak quite a bit of French and would love to learn Spanish too. I’ve been practicing Yoga for 5 years now, and although I’m not a certified instructor, I would love to become one day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wherever I am in the world, you have an open invite to come stay with me. Also I am gay 🏳️‍🌈 so if you are homophobic it is probably best that we do not host each other.
