I couchsurfed for the first time in Norway in September of 2017 and was immediately impressed with the trust and commitment to help others within this community. I have been using CS as much as possible since then to meet people in the places I go and learn from people who have more knowledge of a new place than I do. From 2018-2019 I was traveling around Asia and then in January of 2020 I started a working holiday visa in Australia (just in time before COVID started and the borders shut). I spent about a year and a half working on various farms and road tripping around Australia with my best friend in a Subaru with a rooftop tent. Until recently, I have usually traveled alone and the CS community has really provided me with a new worldwide family. I’m looking forward to settling down sometime in the next few years and becoming a host to give back to the community that has given me so much. I like to take a ton of photos while traveling and I would love to learn more about photography...any information/advice is appreciated.
