"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." --Eleanor Roosevelt

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really love meeting new people and learning from their experiences and sharing mine with them! I want to branch out and see places, experience new cultures and meet awesome, interesting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any couchsurfing experience as of yet. I heard about it from someone I met while traveling in Cambodia and I thought it was an awesome idea. I plan on traveling the world and if I can do it while saving some money and meeting awesome people, why not?
