Sorry, for my own safety (female traveling solo) I won't meet up with you if you don't have any references.

Spending the week in Europe. Been to Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg so far. Love suggestions for less popular attractions.

Backpacked through South America last year.
Started in Colombia at the end of December 2022, rang in the New Year there, rented a car, drove around the country for a month; then took a boat down the Amazon river to Brazil. Traveled along the coast of Brazil, then went to Ecuador and the Galapagos, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay.

I love trying new things, seeing new places. I have to remind myself to stop and stay still sometimes. It's not a race

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and connections
While traveling alone is fun, lots of the best memories include other people

To explore new cities, especially from a local's perspective

Interests

I'm trying to read a book set in each country I visit while I'm there
I love nature and animals, I used to be a vet tech
