Trying to extend myself to the brink of my human capacity.
Would like to meet friends who are doing something similar.
I believe that pushing yourself to the limits of your existence is the only way to really live, so I aim to do just that. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travelling will help to expand my perspective. I want to learn how you and I are similar, how we are different, and what we both really want out of life.

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting new people and hopefully sharing experiences and perspectives that will change each others lives.
