I've grown up in a rural area and have lived in a rural area for most of my life. I've learned to really love and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Having said this, I've also learned that there is a lot to see out there and there is a lot to learn from other people in the wider world. This is where travelling comes into my life. I value my relationships with people very much and I'd love to broaden my personal connections with people from other areas of the planet. There's something simply beautiful about trying to understand a person from a drastically different background. I think that this type of connection encourages peace and cooperation in the world, two things that we could use a lot more of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to travel as much as I possibly can. I'm hoping that Couchsurfing will help me to travel on a budget as well as to discover new experiences. I think this will ensure that my travelling is as beneficial (to everyone involved) as it can be. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to offer company and friendship to hosts. I know that there are many things from my culture that can be shared with people from other cultures, and I think that this exchange of customs and information is a wonderful experience that brings everyone involved closer together, thus creating a more welcoming world.
