I'm traveling with the goal of going to every UN nation in the world. I have been on the road over two years, starting in Oceania, up through SE and East Asia, then took the Trans-Siberian across Russia, stopping in the Stans, and finishing in St. Petersburg, where I got started with Europe.

Documenting at www.howdareshe.org if you want to check it out. I like to "dare" to do, see, and try new things all over the world. I have LOVED trying new food in Asia (though I can be picky about meat).

To be clear, I'm not on here in interest of finding hookups. I know that's not what most people are on here for, but just want it out there for those who are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the difference between travel and vacation is the concerted effort to connect with the culture, and no better way than by connecting with locals.
