I'm a very talkative explorer who loves nothing more than new experiences and great stories....

....and I'm trying to travel to every country before I die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used Couchsurfing for meetups with new friends in Ethopia, Sweden, Norway and in Washington DC. Every time, I've been overwhelmed with how friendly, giving and interesting people can be.
