Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I first couchsurfed while hitchhiking in Belarus when I was 17, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Since then, I've stayed with maybe half a dozen awesome people in countries from Chile to the US to the Ukraine :)
Oh, and Iran. Seriously. If you don't have a US passport (congrats!), drop everything and go couchsurfing in Iran. It's perhaps the most valuable thing I've ever done.
Interests
I love travelling, exploring. I've seen most of what there is to see in Western and Eastern Europe (not enough of Central Europe!), bits of the Americas (Chile, Argentina, Brazil, US, Mexico) and almost nothing in Asia, Africa - though I want that to change!
Also, Iran.
I also want to learn to cook!
