[Profile Last Updated on 28 Feb 2025]

I’ve had wonderful experiences connecting with fellow Couchsurfers since 2016, and I’m excited to keep exploring the world with my husband. I’d love for us to become friends along the way!

I believe in giving back, so if you’re kind enough to share your time with me, I’d love to treat you to a meal at your favorite local restaurant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the power of cultural exchange and enjoy learning from others while sharing my own culture.

During my exchange year, I learned to be open-minded. I often remember the phrase from our programs: “It’s not right, it’s not wrong, it’s just different.” This perspective has helped me embrace diversity with respect and understanding.
