Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couchsurfed at a German friend's place and she gave me a interesting graduation party there. We had nice food, nice drinks, nice cigarettes, and of course a wonderful chat. And when I travel to Changsha, Hunan, I lived in a French girl's place for one night. She was very intelligent and nice. This summer my German friend came to my place and stayed with me for a week.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of interesting stories on China. If you have never been to China, then you must have many wrong perceptions about it, maybe in a good way maybe in a negative way. If you are interested in anything about China, I wish I could crash at your place and tell you all about it. If you have been here, that is even better because we can share the experiences traveling to different places here.
