ABOUT ME

Curious, slightly aloof, self proclaimed introvert but others disagree.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing, but think it is an authentic way to see a new place and meet new people. Seeing things from a local's point of view is different than just my outsider point of view. Also, people can make or break an experience.
