Hello, all!

I'm Sara; a "charming weirdo" attempting to break out of her shell through travel. I want to become a better version of myself and force myself out of my routines. I think that the best way to do that is to test my boundaries and ability to adapt while experiencing other ways of life and hearing new perspectives about the world.

** Unfortunately, I can't host at this time because 1, I currently live with my parents, and 2, we're in the process of moving right now.

AS A GUEST:
-Most importantly, I don't snore!
-I always try to be respectful and polite. (Kindness above all else.)
-I will clean up after myself and abide whatever rules are placed (though I hope they'd be reasonable).
-I'm both a morning and a night person but am trying to stop being a vampire and lean more towards day. Basically, I'm adaptable to whatever your schedule is (ie, whenever you want to kick me out.)
-I'm usually always smiling. Because I'm a happy person but also because I'm mostly likely nervous. Which means I'll probably ramble and over-share. You'll get to know me very quickly. That being said, it may not seem like it sometimes but I am rather shy.
-I like conversations of all kinds. If I don't know about the topic at hand, teach me. I'll listen and ask questions.
-I'm very understanding. Maybe a little too much. In a debate I can never choose a side because both points make sense.

I'm not using you for free accommodation, if I message you it's because I'm interested in getting to know you and your specific way of life.

I like adventure. Let's go do fun things!
I don't need you to entertain me but it would be nice to do something together or at least get to know each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to use CouchSurfing as a way to make me feel safer and a little less lonely during my journey, while making some new friends and experiencing a true taste of the city I'm staying in.
