About Me

Hello!

Before Covid I did one year traveling around Australia and Southeast Asia.

Now I’m glad to be back on the road again and this time I am traveling in Europe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not?! It’s a great cultural exchange and it’s a sustainable way to travel!

Couch surfing has been a big part throughout my travels and I’ve been lucky to meet awesome people around the world thru this platform.

My couchsurfing experience has always been positive through out my backpacking journey and once I finish my gap year I will also give back to the community by hosting other surfers!
