Hi all! My name is Azra and I've recently rejoined couchsurfing, hoping to use it a bit more.

I'm from the San Francisco/Bay Area in California, but originally from the Balkans (specifically Bosnia and Montenegro :) and have spent quite a bit of time traversing this area over the last few years. I would be happy to share with you the beautiful natural, historic, and cultural curiosities of the region.

I love overland, slower travel when possible, meeting new folks from around the world, sharing interests and delightful and/or captivating conversations, and jokes of course!

At university, I finished my master's in Global Studies (it is indeed as broad as it sounds), and I have a variety of interests, naturally :D

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet some lovely folks, share some new experiences, and better grasp the essence of where I'm at.
