Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an unregistered refugee. I won't be going to my home country very soon due to war, so would like to learn more about my new exile; the world. I would like to learn about the history of communities, conflicts, wars and how they got about it. I also would like to enjoy good time, beautiful people and good music.
