I am planning on backpacking Europe for the month of September, before planting my feet in Berlin for three months. I want to travel the right way, by staying with locals who feel as strongly about showing me their city as I feel about seeing it! I want an authentic experience in each country, and what better way to do that than with people who actually live there? I LOVE meeting new people, and feel that the Couchsurfing community brings together adventurous, exciting individuals who are open to new experiences (:
