Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not only the travel element but also looking to expand my thoughts and ideas; i truly believe everyone we meet has something unique to teach us and I figure the more people we meet the more we learn, couch surfing seems to connect a lot of likeminded people around the world.

I'm increasingly looking to explore new ideas around philosophy and life in general, I find it fascinating to hear peoples perspective on the world and I'm finding mine to be constantly changing.
