CURRENT MISSION

Being Steven Slater

ABOUT ME

I've been traveling Europe for the past 16 months, and in that time have slept in 75 beds, 5 couches, 4 trains, 2 ferries, 2 planes, 3 floors, 1 bench, 1 fountain, in 1 car, 1 airport, 1 park, and 1 field, and loved every minute of it. I love doing and learning anything new, and anything that provides a story...I am completely open-minded, keep a positive attitude towards (almost) everything, and generally love the freedom and excitement of traveling on my own!

PHILOSOPHY

I am definitely a fan of "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff"...very few things are worth getting upset about in the long-run, so I take everything rationally and in the greater context. That said, I try to find the most possible pleasure and gratitude from the small and finer things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
