I genuinely believe that the essence of travel goes way beyond visiting new places. Traveling wouldn't be complete without meeting people from all around the world, discovering other paths of life, connecting with diverse individuals or forming friendships across borders. Couchsurfing is the best way to immerse itself in another culture and to discover the place throught the insights of those who call it home.

- Volunteering in a game reserve in South Africa, and being chased by a hippo - Sleeping under the stars (or more precisely under the rain) in the Thar desert in India. And hence, discovering heavy rain in the desert does exist. - Surfing in Portugal, and not even managing to put my feet on the board - Enjoying the carnaval in Brasil during a solo trip And more generally pushing back my limits again and again and discovering that what I remember most afterwards is the unexpected part
