I'm a backpacker from the US traveling through Europe in between ski seasons in New Zealand. I'm bilingual and trying very hard to be trilingual. Tell me a little-known fact about where you're from, I'll add it to my collection

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to get to know places, and I believe the best way to do that is to get out of hostels and get to know locals. Show me why you love where you live!
