Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted one guest so far. I have gone to an event (French language exchange which was cool). I enjoy the idea of sharing / meeting different cultures / languages etc. This is the real positive side of the internet. I wonder how couchsurfing makes any money or how it is funded?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted one guest so far which was great and would like to share more.

Interests

I seem to be interested in too many topics.

Music, healthy food, unhealthy food, different cultures, drumming, foreign foods, interesting beers, wines, waters, local food shopping, fresh juices and smoothies, languages, dancing, travelling, surfing, longboarding, photography, everyday philosophy, spirituality, psychedelics, atmospheric Cafes, bars, yoga, meditation, massage etc etc... and every day things like awkwardness and lying on your back looking at the sky through the trees...
