Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and make life long friendships.
I have experienced the great difference each one of us can make in the world if we open our doors to strangers, become friends and confidants , learn about new cultures, appreciate our diversity and join hands to create change. I'm excited to expand my network of friends , explore the world and give back by supporting girls' and women's empowerment in my community.
