ABOUT ME

I'm very curious and adventurous. I generally do live by the "try everything at least once" rule. My father was an avid traveler who instilled in me at a young age an interest in traveling. He had really great (and sometimes hilarious) stories and after he passed away I felt compelled to go to the same places as he as well as other places. I'd like to have some of my own interesting stories to tell. I did travel a little as a child but I was too young to fully appreciate my travels. I'd definitely like to go again! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to CS and definitely plan to host (when I get my own place). Though I'm an introvert and a bit shy, I do enjoy meeting new people and going to new places (cliche but true).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No vacation ones yet but I have couchsurfed at a friend's home out of necessity. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not necessarily amazing but amusing: I remember when I went to Pisa as a child, I saw a guy on a Vespa with his dog. He had a handkerchief around its neck and glasses on its face. The dog was on the man's lap and he positioned the dogs cute paws on the Vespa's handlebars so it looked like the dog was driving it.
