Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to start my solo years-round adventure this June, and as I am traveling with tight budget, couchsurfing suits me perfectly. And I would really love to make friends with locals, to learn about the actual lives there and the maybe the hidden beauty.

Interests

I love traveling. As I mentioned, I have traveled to/lived in many different places. Just find it exciting to get the know the world, the culture, the people and the food there. To understand the real world, to see things I couldn’t even imagine, to make friends with those I would never even met if I were not traveling, to try food that looks funny or creepy.

And as I am traveling with very limited budget, I do it as a work exchanger, working in exchange for accommodation and food. Most of the hosts I chose are organic farmers who believe in sustainable living, which is what I find really amazing and the right thing to do with my life.
