Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about travel because it opens our eyes to the people we share this world with. Travel, if done well, can make us more open, more compassionate, more understanding, and more loving people. I love connecting with people from different places, cultures, and backgrounds. We can all learn from each other! I'm interested in Couchsurfing because it gives us more opportunities for personal connection while traveling, and it makes traveling more accessible.
