Been a member of this community since 2009 back when it was still way cool and alive. With a little
regret, I deleted my original account but then I decided to come back again and give couchsurfing another chance :) Unfortunately I cannot retrieve the old account so I had to create a new profile. I will fill this space sometime again later. In the meantime you can stalk my IG, @ishvysh and maybe check out my outdoor adventures there and see if we share the same adventure appetite :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This space used to be fun when Ive met like-minded people that I ended up being friends for long term. I would still like to believe that I can still meet travel and adventure oriented souls through this app/website.
