Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel. To me, that means traveling far and traveling slow, but most of all seeing new places through the eyes of the people. I like to push my comfort zone and constantly force myself to see the world in new ways, to challenge my subconscious assumptions and stereotypes. Curiosity is the greatest form of respect because it means you are showing that someone else knows something that you can learn from, and that's my favorite part about meeting new people. Basically I just love to travel
