Chow, I'm Azriel, you can call me Azi, I am a college student who has traveled a lot in the past and am very excited to be in Europe again backpacking and seeing hidden gems I haven't experienced before. My whole family and I are avid outdoor people and I am obsessed with all arts like ceramics, photography, music, and clothing. I would love to be able to travel honestly through friendly locals and meet them along the journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a college student and I'd like to be able to travel authentically while I'm on my wild journey across Europe while still on a budget. I've couch-surfed before but through friends I know or I've made on the way,
I downloaded Couchsurfing to help my reach and feel what it's like to live in each culture. I'd love to go off the beaten path so to be able to stay with a local is an option I've always loved. Especially since it gives me a good friend in the process.
