ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Despite language barriers and cultural differences, I believe all people share the bond of humanity. Let's build on our commonalities and not be divided by our differences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to the CS community but I enjoy the cultural exchange that it promotes. Through these conversations, the world gets smaller and we realize how much we are all alike.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
