I am from the United States where I was born and raised in a small town in Iowa. I always wanted to travel and so I saved up my money for 5 years. Now am I fulfilling my dreams and taking a year off to travel the world.

Each day in order to live life to the fullest I try to either go somewhere new, meet someone new or eat something new and most days I find myself doing just about all three.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to meet new people from around the world. I want to get to know the local residents of the cities I visit in order to try to fully understand the different cultures of the world.
