I love to engage in rich cultural experiences with strangers! I love finding out about new people, about their likes and dislikes, and their hobbies, what they think of a place, and so much more. I think these interactions are such an amazing exchange where both parties learn something, and even become friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As mentioned I love meeting new people especially locals who I can offer a cultural exchange with and who can show me an authentic local experience!
