Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-- c o n n e c t i o n --

any tool that helps people experience things outside of their comfort zone is right by me. I love this community and what couchsurfing stands for.

I got swept up in wanderlust so much that I made a business out of it with three other travel fanatics. we call it oyster world. because anyone has the ability to take the world by storm and find the beauty in travel experiences.
