I love traveling and learning about new cultures and people. I try and travel while having the phrase "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" in my mind. I try to be respectful of local culture while adapting myself to gain a deeper understanding of the place and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I think that it is a much more genuine way to get to know a country and its people. Some of my best memories of traveling come from the organic and genuine encounters that I have had with local people and making local friends.
