Overview
About Me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The primary reason I want to provide a temporary home for everyone who seeks one is that we are all human. If you're reading this you are a human and therefore you are part of our community. Let's together break down the barriers of separation and recognise each other as part of the same humankind. Let's share some positive energy, different perspectives, mutual understanding and happiness.
