Solo traveler and photographer. Transforming people, places, and things is what drives me. I have a passion for stories and appreciate the value of time and how I spend it. I enjoy doing good, being useful, giving of myself, learning new skills, experiencing new cultures, making friends, living an exciting life, having constant plans, and staying on the move. The idea of exploring the world fascinates me—traveling, learning, teaching, and diving in. I strive to live an honest life, stay true to myself, and make choices from the heart. I like to live simply and lightly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here on Couchsurfing because I believe it’s the best way to connect with the culture of a country and its people. I see it as more than just finding a place to sleep—it's about exploring a city with a local and seeing it through their eyes. For the host, it’s like traveling without leaving home. For both, it’s a chance to make new friends and share stories. It’s an easy and fun way to meet interesting people and have a truly enriching experience.
