Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Travelling is not just a physical thing. Going to another country. Seeing the sights. When you can connect with someone else, touching their way of life, seeing beautiful places not only through your own eyes, but also through the eyes of others, that is what it means to discover something new. As a host, this means new wonder for what is already familiar. As a surfer, it means curious eyes led by an open mind.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Canyoning. Sleeping in a castle suite. Having a firefly land on you while dancing with that One Girl. Shopping for a three course meal (and a candle) at Lidl. Doing a handstand on the Great Wall.
