Top of the morning! I am Chris and 3 years ago I fell in love with traveling.
I love to listen to fellow travelers and their experiences, especially why they chose to travel to a certain place. It's always great to exchange travel stories and brainstorm with each other to see where the next adventure will take us.

So far Berlin and Medellín have been my top cities, but there are so many more to explore!

I still have to explore more of South America, The Down Under, Africa, Asia and of course some of the beautiful islands.

I am also pretty active. Activities to explore a city with running, bicycling, walking, or hiking are a nice way to pass the day, following with some local foods and drinks are a nice treat afterwards!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I believe in learning about different cultures and introducing/showing them the positives of our culture. We should never be stuck in a bubble and limit ourselves with one culture. And that is the beautiful thing about traveling, it opens your mind up and also your lens to other ways people live their lives and what they value most.

Throughout traveling you learn about the different values that each culture believes in, and if you like it, you make it a part of your own. Couchsurfing is a great way to share stories, experiences, and beliefs to one another, which will build greater, deeper personal values as well as everlasting friends from all around the world.

There is so much out there for us that is unknown and needs to be shared in order to live harmoniously with one another.
