I'm a travel junkie and I look forward to meeting new people here during my days of being nomadic!

I live to travel. I travel to live.

CURRENT MISSION

I will start another backpacking/volunteering adventure across 5 countries next month (March 2016). Can't wait!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy having a conversation about random topics. I also don't mind being the tour guide or the official photographer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so good!

CSers are among the nicest people I've ever met.
