I consider myself an introverted traveler, however, I don't mind meeting people, I like meeting people and learning about different cultures, I just do them in a quiet way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people all over the world. I love to travel internationally and people and learn about their cities, country, culture, way of life.
