Hello! I'm Sara. I love exploring the world - not just nature, but also culture and stories.

I started joining CS in 2015 but have only been brave enough to experience CSers hospitality in 2018. It has been an incredible journey - biking in Amsterdam, watching the World Cup in Cologne, getting stuck in the rain in Marseille, and tap dancing in Edinburgh....all these with strangers. I would say it was the best year of my life yet!

I just completed my Ph.D., meaning now I have more time to meet interesting people and go on little adventures again! So I hope we'll cross paths and we can exchange stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is short. I don’t want to limit my life to just one place in this world. There’s so much stories in all parts of the world, I want to be inspired by them.
