Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have enjoyed traveling since I was a child visiting relatives abroad with my family. I truly fell in love with experiencing the world and its people when I spent a semester studying in Europe during university. I guess I'm just here hoping for more incredible experiences and to get to know some kind and friendly people along the way.
