Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was referred to this site while taking Amtrak train to Mexico and was told that there are amazing opportunities to connect with others who love to be adventurous. To say the least, I was fascinated by how many people you could interact with, be it a day-to-day activity, short-term stay or long term accommodations. Overall, I'm inspired by the concept of reciprocal trust and kindness that Couchsurfing has to offer, of course all the while being safe.

All in all, I have loved the experiences in simply showing fellow travelers around California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Hawaii. I'd love to broaden my worldview through cultural inclusiveness :)
