"Stranger! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?" (Walt Whitman)

I'm friendly, easy going, curious and open-minded. I like learning new things and meeting new and interesting people!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have been an Hospitality Club member since 2003, when CS didn't even exist and this all online hospitality thing was totally new! I immediately fell in love with the idea, met a lot of cool, interesting people, made new friends and discovered a whole new way of traveling... so, obviously, I couldn't but join CS as well!
