Hello! My name is Fatou. I am a student and avid traveler. I am always looking for places to go, people to meet, and subsequently, places to stay as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from all over the world and find great value in staying with locals and seeking authentic experiences. Couchsurfing provides me with the perfect opportunity to do that on a tight budget.
