Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I love travelling and meeting new people. I think it is much better to travel by meeting local people and making human connections and friends. From August through November of 2015 I toured through France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy, Couchsurfing the whole way. They were my first experiences with the community and I got hooked! Since then I've been back in the US continuing my studies but I've been trying to keep up my involvement by hosting travellers. I want to do some fun, inexpensive traveling. I love meeting people, making friends, and exchanging stories.
