“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
- Sarah Frances Brown P.S. I love you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are in Couchsurfing to enhance our travel experience, to meet new friends from all different places. We want to do more than just staying in a hostel, doing touristy things, ''visiting'' new places. We want to learn about the places we are at, the people who are living there, their culture, and everything.
We are also very interested in meeting up, hang out, and listening to other fellow traveler’s stories, experiences, cultures.

Interests

Cooking, singing, connecting with people, drawing, hiking, dancing, listening to music, gardening, etc.
Trying new things. Traveling to see more different things, to hear different stories, to make more friends, to get lost in the places I know nothing about.
