Have you ever met an American-Indonesian-Paraguayan? Well now’s your chance.

My 5 must-do activities to consider a country officially "visited":

- Take its public transit
- Shop at a local grocery store
- Workout at a local gym
- Visit a historic landmark
- Hang out with a local

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For now, I'm on here just to hang out :). I have a disproportionately larger share of taking the host role than surfing. But I'm here because I thrive in new environments and love meeting new people. It really is something to put a face (and a mind and a heart) to a country, so when you watch the news or read something in the paper about it, the country isn't just some statistic or destination-- it becomes human.
