Yay this I this the part where I get to talk about myself... haha well for starters I have been traveling since I was less than a year old. Since then, travel has always been a little part of my life. Having a mom that was a travel agent, I was fortunate enough to travel quite a bit throughout my childhood and teenage years. Needless to say, travel was nothing new to me. However, at the start of 2016, a year full of travel would occur that took my appetite and love for travel to new heights. I visited about 13 countries in one year. Many of those, backpacking and traveling unlike I had before where I stayed in nice hotels and did touristy things. In 2016 I fell in love with hostels, backpacking, taking the less traveled path. It left me with a greater appreciation for the local culture. With that being said, I literally started the 2017 new year in a different continent. Backpacking again realizing that this is one of the things that makes me happiest in life. I want to continue traveling as far as possible and experiencing things that I could never experience back home. I believe this new venture into couchsurfing will do just that!
