Hello! My name is Merav, I'm excited to be part of this community! I am passionate about film and music, and traveling to new cities! My boyfriend and I are going to be in Lisbon and parts of Spain for a few weeks and are really looking forward to couch surfing. We're happy to cook a meal or two for you guys, have some breakfast together, go out for a drink. This is our first big travel together so we're looking forward to exploring on our own for most of the day but would love to invite you to whatever museums, etc we go to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never couch surfed with strangers before, but my best travel experiences have been couch surfing through a friend of a friend - meeting new people, learning the local spots, escaping a tourist-y neighborhood.
