Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This year I want to travel and explore the US (and hopefully Europe) on my own. I am looking forward to good conversations, new ideas and inspiration from the people I meet on my travels. Conversations have always helped me understand myself better and see things from different perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meditation;
Watching a tiger in the wild attempt a kill;
sunset on Lake Superior. Very different experiences; amazing in their own way.
