I'm a coffee addict. When I travel I do this little ritual daily: wake up, grab a cup of coffee, travel, and grab a cup of coffee. So far the best coffee I've ever had is in Italy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience new culture and break out of my comfort zone. When most people travel, they’re surrounded by their friends and family. They eat with them, sleep in the same hostel/hotel rooms with them, ride the train with them, and go to bars with them. Sometimes I travel this way too, and sometimes it can be fun. But it’s not the greatest way to fully experience another culture, and it’s definitely not a good way to escape from that safe little bubble that surrounds so many travelers, and protects them from really integrating themselves into the cultures of the places they visit. Showing up at a stranger’s home, having beers with them, and sleeping on their couches is a pretty intense thing to do for most people. Not knowing what to expect is a nerve-wracking feeling, but also an exciting one, and is very often insanely rewarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made a decision of going to Sweden for a half year exchange program. Travelled a lot and met a lot of people. Sometimes I still reminiscing the awesome memories.
