Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to explore the world and the beautiful people who share it with me. Unlike other means of lodging, couchsurfing provides me the best of both worlds. The comfort and luxury of one's home with the added benefit of meeting and interacting with the kind person welcoming me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
