enjoy backpack traveling, last big trip: summer 2024 walked the camino the French way over 900k. Met great lifelong friends along the way. Have traveled to 33 countries. All but one were independent. The one was a Fulbright Group Scholarship to study the indigenous people in Borneo. One of my fav's actually!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just another type of travel: two ways. hosting and visiting. I have done homestays in a few countries. Enjoy the unknown.
