Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met people from all walks of life through cs. However one thing most have in common is their open-mindedness.
When I'm travelling, I like to use couchsurfing in order to connect with locals. This way I'm experiencing their country in a way no travel tour can offer.
It's also great to meet other travellers as travelling alone isn't always fun.

If I'm connecting to you through couchsurfing while in my own country, it's because I want to return the favour for all those who helped me while overseas. Let me show you cheap places to eat as let's face it, Australia can be pretty expensive! If I reach out, it's probably also because I yearn to hear stories of your travels or depictions of your home country. It's the closest I'll get to travelling while I'm home!
