ABOUT ME

I really love meeting people from all over the world and learning languages. I also love to read and watch foreign films and cook vegetarian and try all kinds of ethnic food. Traveling is great, but I believe that my passion is more "exploring culture," meaning I would rather talk to the real people and experience the country with real people, rather than be a tourist.

MY PHILOSOPHY:
“Explore what the world has to offer. Because if you don't, then how else will you learn?” -18 year old me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and have some great experiences! I love to meet all kinds of people and share culture and language. I’m very open minded and believe Couchsurfing will give me the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.

Interests

I love helping people and learning about peoples' stories, experiences, etc. I'm very open to listening to people's struggles, dreams, goals, etc. One of my goals in life is to build a physical social network of people and share the knowledge I have and connect them with others that could help them.
