Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🍓 i'm NOT looking for a dating partner. i'm here for cultural exchanges. it's a MUST to me that your place is safe and friendly to a solo female traveler.
🍍 although i'm new to the community, the people i've met through CouchSurfing are among the most amazing individuals i've known. isn't it beautiful that out of almost 9 billion people on earth, our paths crossed somehow? i'm down for these serendipities, always!
