I was more active with couch surfing over a decade ago but I’d like to do more traveling (on a budget) and meet locals to share their favorite spots. I’m a respectful and grateful guest and would help out with food, cleaning, etc. I’m laid back, considerate, and a bit of an introvert but also love to meet new people and hear their stories. Would love to see new things, grab some food/drink, hike, do something creative, dig in a garden, listen to music, be with animals, go to museums.
