Earth citizen and part-time Traveler. Traveling keeps me sane and heals the soul. I especially like taking the train through Europe

I love learning about foreign cultures. I feel like interacting more with strangers has boosted my confidence and made me open up to the world and its people.

I've also been told I'm easy-going and self-aware, which I consider to be great accomplishments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, exchanging cultures and world views, training myself to step outside of my comfort zone.

Turning strangers into friends and traveling the world
