About Me

I fell in love with traveling and meeting new people when I studied abroad in Denmark.

So why not utilize a site that brings those two amazing things together?

I want to meet the travelers, wanderers, nomads, and all around interesting people who I share this world with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
