Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here for cultural exchange and meaningful human connections. I enjoy meeting people over coffee, walking through cities, and having thoughtful conversations about everyday life, culture, and society. Couchsurfing, for me, is a space to learn from others, share experiences, and see places through the eyes of the people who live there.
