Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always down to meet new people. I went to a few events overseas but have not participated as much as I would like.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At Carnival in Venice I ran into some couch surfers who were hosting people. I had already booked a hotel but they invited my friend and I back to their house and showed us around the city. Couchsurfing to me is the perfect example of the kindness of strangers.

Interests

Visiting small towns and living in cities. Being near the ocean (a lake or river will do). Photography. Amazing documentaries (usually about genocide or Africa). My family. The incredible friends I have collected along the way.
