Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I use CS to get in contact with other travellers and locals wherever that might be. Since I am always interested in the culture and the people of the country I'm travelling to, I want to experience as much as I can and I think Couchsurfing is a great option!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Exploring the world and its people, learning about different ways of life and broadening my horizon changed me and my perspective towards life immensely. - my first open ocean sailing from Panama to Colombia - working and living with locals in Tanzania and Zanzibar - seeing the Big 5 in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - jumping from 10m into a deep black Cenote in Mexico - Skydiving - driving myself a 60 years old motorcycle along the carribean coast of Cuba

"Travel isnโt always pretty. It isnโt always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But thatโs okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."
