Hello!

My girlfriend and I are new to couch surfing! We have a month to travel Europe and so far we've just been to London, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Munich :) We're very eager to make friends, learn, explore, experience, dance, and party!

We are looking to immerse ourselves in the culture of every country or town we visit. We are mostly just going to go with the flow and see where the wind takes us.

We will be using Couchsurfing, hostels and recommendations :) We would love to meet up with locals and travelers to share tips, stories, adventures, and laughs!

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love. Live your life with passion. Take risks, make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, act silly, have fun, laugh, love and never stop learning. REMEMBER, life is short, so smile while you still have teeth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on couchsurfing to experience different cultures and local people. In my experiences I have found that locals know of the best spots, hangouts and restaurants, as well as offer wonderful history and knowledge of their towns. We're looking forward to making meaningful connections with people through friendship, kindness, generosity, and an open mind!

Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Life passes all of us. The good times, the bad times, they all pass. Enjoy the journey and try not to look back, you're not going that way.
