My name is Dana and I am so very excited to be a part of this community. I was introduced to CS during an 8 month solo trek through Southeast Asia and I had the time of my life. I find that CS is an incredible way to meet people who want to pass on knowledge, exchange stories and eat/drink/laugh/dance (my favorite activities). Honestly, I can't believe that I JUST found out about CS! I missed out on all of my past travel clearly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
