Now I am living in Santa Cruz. It is my first time outside of the country. I have explored a lot of places in Bangladesh. I want to explore different places in the USA too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The places I visit, I want to visit it like a local. I believe one can not experience a place fully without experiencing it like locals. That is the main thing that brings me to Couchsurfing. I also enjoy different Couchsurfing events.
