Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live for adventure!! That’s how I end up traveling alone to the other end of the world for weeks to months at a time (despite the dangers of being a young woman in it). At the same time, I am curious about everything in this world, especially the people in it. So when I go somewhere, I want to find people to share the experience with and who can show me the ropes, and to whom I can give a taste of my own perspective on life!

Good humans of all perspectives are to me the spice of life. I hope you can be part of mine :).

***note: I have a friendly personality and I love getting to know people, but I am NOT flirting and NOT looking for anything more than new friends, so please don’t reach out with any expectations of that and do not try flirting with me. Thanks :)***
