Greetings! I'm Shedia, a mix of Caribbean 🇦🇼and Moroccan 🇲🇦 heritage, born and raised in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

I’m a traveler who sees CS as a great way to connect with people and grow. I love meeting others from all walks of life and learn about their cultures, perspectives, and lifestyles. Traveling for me isnt just about visiting new places but about broadening my perspective, stepping out of my comfort zone, and embrace the unknown with an open heart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy connecting with locals because it lets me see a place from their perspective, giving me a richer, more authentic experience. I think CS is about more than just travel but also forming genuine connections and making unforgettable memories 🌍🌎🌏
