Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really enjoy meeting new people and learning about all the different cultures and countries around the world. I really like the exchange of knowledge. But, I started couchsurfing as a Peace Corps volunteer. I felt like I could help Albania get a better reputation by helping visitors have a good experience there. Albania has so much to offer, but it's sometimes difficult to discover due to the lack of development. And, that's where I came in, to help talk it up and make navigating a little easier.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This has been amazing, I have met some genuinely wonderful people. I think it is a really great way to meet and learn about people from all over.

Interests

Traveling and trying to improve the opportunities that exist in the world. My job in development is my life, it's good to love what you do!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining the Peace Corps was amazing, it changed my life in unexpected ways. Also, moving to Afghanistan as a development worker has been pretty eye-opening as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

People are fascinating and I really enjoy hearing about people's lives, no matter how mundane they may think themselves there is something to learn from everyone.
