About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have as many different experiences as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am traveling in Europe for a year before university. I am partly traveling through WWOOF and Workaway, but I am coachsurfing in between. I love to meet new people and have interesting discussions. I try to say yes to as many things as possible so I can get out of my comfort zone!

Coachsurfing appeals to me because it is an excellent way to meet people and is more personal than simply staying at a hostel. I've met so many amazing people through CS and learned more than I ever expected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
