CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love love love to travel, I'm always game for a road trip or anything that involves going new places and meeting people. Being outdoors is my thing - hiking and swimming, and whatever challenging activities there are that I haven't pursued yet but am definitely keen to experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started out by hosting a few people and really got the travel bug when a friend came to visit and we went on small road trips. So in 2014, I took my far too heavy backpack and went on a 'continent-hopping' trip where I met beautiful people, landed in beautiful places and experienced amazing things thanks to couchsurfing.

Not once have I had a bad experience. People have been generous, welcoming, interesting and interested, helpful, and so much more! I have no complaints :)
