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

I’m a traveler who sees Couchsurfing as a powerful way to connect with people and grow personally. I love meeting new people from all walks of life and learning about their cultures, perspectives, and ways of living. For me, traveling isn’t just about seeing new places, it’s about expanding my view of the world, pushing my boundaries, and diving into the unknown with an open mind.

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 couchsurfing is about more than just travel but also forming genuine connections, making unforgettable memories, and being part of a community of like-minded people who share a love for exploring and learning. 🌍🌎🌏
