Adventurous. Music lover. Aspiring writer. Red wine aficionado. Foodie. Dance floor connoisseur. Insatiable wanderlust. Unironically love Rick Astley.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to get perspective on the place you're from is to leave it and experience life and people around the world. I don't want the perfectly-curated experience of staying in a hostel and going on planned tours, I wanna stay with real people who can share their perspectives and the kind of knowledge you can only get from a true local.
