Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing seems truly perfect for what I am looking for in traveling: experiencing life as other people do, learning about local culture and behaviors, but also and especially make new, amazing friends and have lots of fun!
We have so much to learn from each other and to exchange, I can't wait! Be it languages, food/cuisine, dance, music, politics and spirituality (if you're keen), and lots and lots of laughter.
