Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience. To grow. To listen. To learn.

This fall (September 2015), I'll be trekking throughout Europe. I arrive in Stockholm, move to Copenhagen and thereafter...I jump to Berlin, Dresden, and Prague; over to Amsterdam; bus to Brussels; pop-off to Paris, down to Marseilles, backwards to Barcelona, and then hit Rome before returning home...
