PHILOSOPHY

People are the most valuable resource in life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed and I've hosted couchsurfers. My first exposure to couchsurfing was through one of my friends in Cairo, Luke, who hosted people all the time. I really liked all the cool people I met through him.
Since then I've used the site to meet cool people in my own city, and for surfing and hosting. I hope to do more of all three in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I remember the first time I ever heard of couchsurfing. There was some guy sleeping in Luke's place, and I asked Luke how he knew the guy. Luke said that he didn't know him, and that he was just some stranger that had contacted him over the internet asking for a place to stay. I got mad a Luke for being a smartass, but then Luke explained that he was being completely serious and showed me this website. Over the next couple months I met lots of his couchsurfers, and eventually couchsurfed there myself for two weeks between when the lease for my apartment in Cairo expired and when I left the country.

兴趣

I like lots of stuff. I'm usually happy to do what everybody else wants because then I get to try new things.
