I recently moved from Oakland, Ca to a small village in Croatia with my husband. We bought a farm and I'm torn between my urge to settle in, work on our house and get it ready for guests - and my desire to take advantage of Europe's cheap airfare and extensive rail network! I have some friends from America visiting in the coming months, and I hope we get to do as much exploring as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard good things from friends who use it and I love the idea of building a broader community of travelers!
