About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to experience the feeling of "home" wherever I go, be it in any part of the world. I'm a sucker for real experiences, real friendship and the feeling of being a local anywhere on the map. Places/cities/countries can look and feel different but the feeling of home is something that stays universal across the globe. Staying at an actual home that lives and breathes with the people that reside in it thus becomes an important aspect in the way I want to experience a city I've never been to before. I want to merge and flow in the city's rhythm and Couchsurfing offers a way to do that :)
