ABOUT ME

It's was a crazy goal of mine for many years to visit every country, and completed my goal about 3 years ago. The journey of getting there and planning the trips was half the fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to CS but have been a member of Hospitality Club for several years. I've met a few people via HC. I usually travel with 2-3 friends and stay in hotels but it would be nice to meet some locals via CS/HC.
