Passionate traveler and outdoor enthusiast. I love learning about foreign cultures and different ways of life. What better way to do that than with Couchsurfing?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It helps you break out of the tourist bubble and makes traveling a much richer experience. Looking back I would have missed out on so many cool experiences, had I not started using it during my world trip in 2012.
