Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A whim. And I Googled it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm always grateful for what the world has to offer, the good and the not-so-good. It's important to keep a positive outlook whenever wherever.

I usually find myself a slightly different man after each (couchsurfing) experience. And undoubtedly that's the beauty of traveling and experiencing everything firsthand!

Interests

Small pleasures like taking a stroll along the promenade in the cool crisp evening air or watching the world go by in the street from a rooftop café amid a summer lull...
