HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Vi veri veniversum vivus vici.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed through the Netherlands for the first time for my University Fall Break in October with some friends. We traveled through Amsterdam, Leiden and Utrecht and had a spectacular time.
The hosts I encountered have been very hospitable and great company and I'm very glad I have met them. :)

Interests

I love to learn other people's languages because it makes me feel like I can develop common ground with the most extreme cultural backgrounds. I enjoy travelling, watching movies, reading, dancing, and understanding.
