PHILOSOPHY

treat others as you'd like to be treated too

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the last 15 years, I have been doing just that. being a good person,
helping someone out, giving them a place to crash, and one day I look forward to travel the world and see the world in a similar way!

Love and Peace

Dan
