I am an experienced backpacker who travels everytime there is a chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling a place through the eyes of local people is definitely one of the best ways to do it. There are so many cultural insights we are not able to appreciate if we stay on the conventional way of experiencing tourism.

It is easier to find other travelers and join them in different activities a city has to offer.

I would like to share my traveling experiences with others and contribute to make backpacking easier for those that are visiting my city.
